  • Welsh in Education Strategic Plan Annual Report 2020
    ANNUAL REVIEW REPORT WELSH IN EDUCATION STRATEGIC PLAN DECEMBER 2020 OVERALL SUMMARY Despite the difficulties posed by the Covid-19 pandemic, the Council has made good progress in terms of its PLAN commitment to developing Welsh-medium education. A school reorganisation proposal to establish a new Welsh-medium primary school has been approved, and work is now underway to ensure that the school is able to open as planned in September 2021. A temporary governing body has been established, and all applications received by the Council for admission to the nursery class in September 2021 were successful. Applications can now be made for places in the Reception year group. Two non-maintained providers were successful in their tender applications to provide Foundation Phase education, and this will assist in meeting the shortfall of Rising 3 nursery places that the Council has faced at times in recent years. Additional Welsh-medium Flying Start and Mudiad Meithrin provisions are planned, and further work on these aspects will progress into 2021. The provision of improved facilities at Ysgol Gyfun Gwent Is Coed is a priority project within the Council’s Band B programme, and work has now commenced on site. This project will result in capital investment of £18.7m. 1 Outcome 1: More seven-year-old children being taught through the medium of Welsh KEY ANNUAL DATA (where possible, please note if data shows a % increase / decrease since previous reporting period) The January 2020 PLASC return confirmed that 103 Year 3 pupils were being taught through the medium of Welsh, an increase from 91 in the previous year.
