Purpose 1.1 On the 29th September 2020, the Council’s Cabinet considered a Strategic Outline Case (SOC) which considered a range of options in order to address issues with the current operating model of Ysgol Calon Cymru, a dual stream secondary school which operates across two campuses in Mid Powys. 1.2 This is the first phase of the Ysgol Calon Cymru catchment transformation programme. The second phase will focus on reviewing primary and early years provision in the area. 1.3 Without requiring Cabinet to make a decision on the future operating model for Ysgol Calon Cymru, the SOC considered by Cabinet identified a ‘preferred way forward’, which is as follows: A new 11-18 English-medium campus in Llandrindod Wells; plus A new/remodelled 4-18 Welsh-medium all-through campus in Builth Wells. 1.4 This report requests Cabinet approval to commence informal engagement with stakeholders on the preferred way forward. 2.

All maintained settings will be using the new curriculum by 1 September 2022. They envisage that schools would have some flexibility in determining how and when they begin first teaching of the new curriculum. WG expect some schools to be ready to start this transition soon after the new curriculum is made available, others will want to take a little longer. Working with practitioners WG committed to reflect on what this means for learners who are part way through a course of study leading to a qualification. Estyn’s guidance handbook for the inspection of secondary schools published in September 2017 contains the following reporting requirements for the inspector of 3.2, The breadth, balance and appropriateness of the curriculum:- ‘Inspectors should approach innovation and flexibility of approach in a positive way when schools have tried to be creative and imaginative in taking forward well-considered curricular initiatives for the benefit of pupils. In the light of current national developments, inspectors may find that schools are part of the pioneer school programme.

    CYNGOR SIR POWYS COUNTY COUNCIL. CABINET EXECUTIVE 29th September 2020 REPORT AUTHOR: County Councillor Phyl Davies Portfolio Holder for Education and Property REPORT TITLE: Ysgol Calon Cymru Strategic Outline Case (SOC) REPORT FOR: Decision 1. Purpose 1.1 This report requests Cabinet approval for the following: a) To submit a Strategic Outline Case (SOC) to the Welsh Government’s 21st Century Schools Programme for investment to develop: New facilities for 925 pupils aged 11 – 18 in Llandrindod Wells, replacing the existing poor accommodation at the current Llandrindod campus – to be built on the current Llandrindod Campus; New or remodelled facilities at Builth Wells to accommodate 450 pupils aged 4-18 along with early years facilities – to be built on the current Builth Wells Campus; Community facilities will be included but these have not yet been defined; It is the intention that the Llandrindod Wells campus would deliver English-medium provision and that the Builth Wells campus would deliver Welsh-medium provision. b) To bring back a further report to Cabinet by November 2020 outlining the school reorganisation proposals required to achieve the changes outlined above.

  • Powys Press Release
    Powys County Council issued the following Press Release today (22 September 2020). Ambitious education plans to be considered Ambitious plans to transform education in Powys, providing learners with the world-class facilities they deserve, will be considered by Cabinet next week, the county council has confirmed. Following extensive engagement with key stakeholders including headteachers, school staff, governors, parents and learners last winter, Powys County Council is committed to bringing forward plans to deliver an improved learner offer for children and young people by delivering its Strategy for Transforming Education in Powys, which was approved in April. The four strategic aims of the strategy are – To improve learner entitlement and experience; To improve learner entitlement and experience for post-16 learners; To improve access to Welsh-medium provision across all key stages; and To improve provision for learners with special education needs / additional learning needs. To deliver these aims will require significant investment in the education infrastructure in Powys. On Tuesday, September 29, Cabinet will consider five reports which could see a potential investment of over £170m, resulting in brand new school facilities across the county as well as a proposal to consult on establishing a new all-age school. However, several small schools could close as part of the transforming education work. Cabinet will be considering the following plans: A new all-age community campus for Ysgol Bro Hyddgen Investment into Ysgol Calon Cymru for a new English-medium campus for pupils aged 11-18 in Llandrindod Well and a new/remodelled all-age Welsh medium campus in Builth Wells A major reorganisation of schools in the Llanfyllin catchment which could see the construction of a new all-age community campus for Ysgol Llanfyllin, a new area primary school to replace Llandysilio and Carreghofa primary schools which could also include schools from the Welshpool catchment area.
