On 16th February 2021, the Council’s Cabinet agreed to proceed with the proposal, and Statutory Notices were published from the 23rd February 2021 to the 23rd March 2021. The proposals were as follows: From 31 August 2022: i) The Council proposes to discontinue the following two schools which are maintained by Powys County Council: Llanfair Caereinion Community Primary School/Ysgol Gynradd Llanfair Caereinion, Llanfair Caereinion, Welshpool, Powys, SY21 0SF (“Llanfair Caereinion C.P.

From 1 September 2022: i) The Council proposes to establish a new bilingual community school maintained by Powys County Council for boys and girls aged 4-18 years old, that will operate on the current sites of Llanfair Caereinion C.P. School and Caereinion High School. 2. OBJECTIONS RECEIVED 31 objections were received during the statutory objection period.

ISSUES RAISED DURING THE OBJECTION PERIOD The following headings and tables list the issues raised during the objection period, and provide the local authority’s response to these issues. Objection 1 Issue Points raised Council response 1.1 1) There are 26% of surplus places in the secondary Comment noted, however the current proposal relates to sector in Powys. establishing a new dual stream all-age school in Llanfair Caereinion, in the buildings currently occupied by Llanfair Caereinion C.P. School and Caereinion High School, and would not impact on surplus places. The Council is fully aware of the level of surplus places in its schools – ‘High number of surplus places’ is one of the reasons listed in the ‘Education in Powys – why change is needed’ section of the Strategy for Transforming Education in Powys. This is one of the reasons why the Council’s current intention is to develop designated Welsh-medium provision within its current infrastructure, in order to ensure that there is no increase in surplus places. 1.2 2) Political decision to support 13 secondary schools, The Council’s Strategy for Transforming Education in 5 in east Montgomeryshire. This decision is not Powys, which was approved in April 2020 includes an based on the logic of educational standards. objective to ‘Develop a network of all-age schools based around the 13 current secondary school locations’. The strategy was developed following engagement with a range of stakeholders, and the aim of the Strategy is to provide education which provides the best opportunities for 5 learners across Powys – the Strategy sets out a vision for education in Powys, which is as follows: ‘All children and young people in Powys will experience a high-quality, inspiring education to help develop the knowledge, skills and attributes that will enable them to become healthy, personally fulfilled, economically productive, socially responsible and globally engaged citizens of 21st century Wales.’ 1.3 3) Powys's dual-stream secondary schools policy The Council fully acknowledges the need to develop it’s since 1989 to provide Welsh-medium education has Welsh-medium provision. The Council’s Strategy for been an undoubted failure. No growth in the Transforming Education in Powys includes a clear aim to numbers of Welsh-medium pupils post 11. ‘Improve access to Welsh-medium provision across all key stages.’ The Council fully agrees that designated Welsh-medium schools are the preferred delivery model for Welsh-medium pupils, particularly for pupils from a non-Welsh speaking background. 1.4 4) The number of Welsh-medium secondary subjects The Council notes this statement and fully recognises the in Llanfair and Llanfyllin has shrunk over the last 6 need to improve the Welsh-medium provision available in years. Powys, in particular in the secondary sector. As stated in the Strategy for Transforming Education in Powys 2020-30: ‘The size and proportion of the secondary streams varies considerably across the county, and the range of subjects available through the medium of Welsh also varies significantly. The curriculum offer is increasingly limited for Welsh-medium learners, and there is significant concern 6 amongst the profession regarding the commitment of the authority to learners who study in Welsh.’ The Strategy includes an objective to ‘improve access to Welsh-medium provision across all key stages’, and the Council is developing a number of proposals which would eventually lead to a significant improvement in the Welsh- medium provision available in the county. The Council has also made clear throughout the process to establish an all-age school in Llanfair Caereinion that, should the Council proceed with the establishment of the new school, the intention would be to develop the Welsh- medium provision at the new school. When considering the consultation report in respect of the proposal to establish an all-age school in Llanfair Caerienion and approving continuing with the statutory process through the publication of a statutory notice, the Council’s Cabinet also agreed ‘to accelerate the dialogue with representatives of the two schools and the community to explore ways to develop and enhance the Welsh-medium provision in Llanfair Caereinion, and to include all feeder schools in this dialogue.’ Initial discussions have taken place with Caereinion High School and its feeder schools. Should the Cabinet approve the proposal to establish the all-age school in Llanfair Caereinion, this dialogue will continue with the temporary governing body and leadership of the new school, in order to move the school along the language continuum. Feeder 7 schools and other partners will be essential to help develop this vision. If the outcome of this is the need to change the school’s language category, a further statutory process would be required to implement this. 1.5 5) The main growth seen in Welsh-medium pupils has The Council notes the growth that has been seen in Welsh- been in designated primary schools. medium pupil numbers in designated primary schools over recent years. 1.6 6) Immersion in designated schools is the way The Council fully agrees that designated Welsh-medium forward. schools are the preferred delivery model for Welsh-medium pupils, particularly for pupils from a non-Welsh speaking background. 1.7 7) Any school transformation plan must be based on The Council’s new Strategy for Transforming Education in the priority and intention to provide the best Powys does aim to provide the best education to pupils education to pupils. Other considerations are less important. 1.8 8) Forcing parents to receive Welsh-medium education The Council is not forcing parents to receive Welsh-medium is not an effective method and neither does it education. recognise the right of parents to have a choice. Similar schemes have failed in other countries. The best way is to ensure that there is a clear choice for parents between two equivalent language mediums. 1.9 9) The schools and the authority have been guilty over The Council does not agree that it has misled parents the years of misleading parents about Welsh- regarding the Welsh-medium provision available over the medium provision. years. Any information shared by the Council was provided by the schools. 8 1.10 10) Powys education authority is prepared to ignore The Council does not agree with this statement. All facts by using misleading and factually incorrect decisions made related to school reorganisation are based arguments. The organisation does not make on carefully developed proposals and the reasons for decisions on the basis of the validity and merits of proposals are clearly stated in consultation documents and relevant matters, or provide sufficient rationale to Cabinet reports. justify them. It is a reason why Powys education authority has been judged to be a failure. It is not true that Powys education authority has been judged to be ‘a failure’ – Estyn carried out an inspection of Powys education services, which concluded that ‘Powys local government education services are causing significant concern and require follow-up activity.’ Estyn made a number of recommendations in its report. Much work has been done since then to address these, and good progress is being made. 1.11 Considerations arising from the above. The Council is not currently considering wholescale closure A) Too many surplus places. of any of its secondary schools.

  • Community No
    FINAL PROPOSALS Community No. M25 - LLANFIHANGEL Introduction 1. The present community of Llanfihangel lies in the Montgomeryshire hill country, where the terrain rarely rises above 1,000 feet. A number of watercourses and their valleys criss-cross the community: to the south the upper reaches of the river Efyrnwy and its small tributaries the nentydd Dolwar and Llwydiarth, and in the north the valley of the nant Alan. Likewise, a number of routes criss-cross the landscape: the B4382, B4395 and the B4393 being the main, with all but the latter, which leads to Lake Vyrnwy, being of little more than local importance. Llanfihangel and Dolanog are defined as small villages in the Powys Unitary Development Plan. The remainder of the population of this community lives in scattered farms and dwellings and in the rural settlement of Pont Llogel (Llwydiarth). 2. The community has a population of 516, an electorate of 410 (2005) and a council of 8 members. The precept required for 2005 is £3,200, representing a Council Tax Band D equivalent of £12.81. 3. In the 1986 Review the Local Government Boundary Commission for Wales redrew the southern boundary of this community to include the settlement of Dolanog and its surrounding area within the new community of Llanfihangel. This entailed a number of transfers of areas to the new community: an area to the south of the settlement and including Gwaenynog, Tirdu and Gartheilin from the then communities of Llanfair Caereinion and Llangyniew, an area to the west of the settlement at Penisacyffin and taking in the wall of the Efynrnwy valley from the then communities of Llanerfyl and Llangadfan, and an area to the east of the settlement at Wern-y-wig and Glan-yr-afon-uchaf from the then community of Llangyniew.

  • The Grouped Parishes of Llanfair Caereinion, Llanllugan and Manafon
    The Grouped Parishes of Llanfair Caereinion, Llanllugan and Manafon Caereinion Mission Area June 2016 A Profile of the Diocese of St Asaph The Diocese of St Asaph is a diverse and hopeful community of faith. With roots in the Celtic church and a wealth of character and tradition, we seek to continue to uncover our shared vocation as God’s people in the Church in Wales in the north east of the Province. We are a Diocese in good heart and seek to persist in responding joyfully to God’s challenge. The Diocese follows the English/Welsh border in the east, whilst the western edge is delineated by the Conwy Valley. The northern boundary runs along the North Wales coast as far as Llandudno, but only takes in part of that town. The southern boundary runs from the lower end of Llyn Tegid (Lake Bala) across to Dolfor, just south of Newtown in Powys. Ecclesiastically it is bordered by the Dioceses of Chester, Lichfield and Hereford on the northern and eastern sides. To the south we border Swansea and Brecon Diocese and to the west, Bangor. The Diocese is predominantly rural, with many parishes having populations of less than 1000. However, there are important and continually developing industrial and commercial areas around Deeside (one of the largest industrial parks in Europe) and Wrexham and significant smaller developments along the two main arterial roads (A55 and A483). The coastal strip is home to traditional holiday resorts and tourism is an important industry in many parts of the Diocese. The largest employers are the local authorities through education and the health services with two large general district hospitals at Bodelwyddan and Wrexham.

  • Explanatory Notes
    EXPLANATORY NOTES 1. General. It might be well if readers would, before beginning to use the book, enter, on the relevant pages, the corrigenda printed on p. lviii. Further, in spite of the liberal provision of cross-references, a reader may not always easily find the article (if there is one) on a particular person; as the decision to include some of the articles in the Appendix was not made until the pages under the appropriate letter in the main text had been printed off, it is certain that there are no advance cross-references to those articles. It is suggested that the reader, before abandoning hope, should make certain that his quarry is not included in the Appendix, or that there is no account of him in the article on his family, or that he has not been entered under one of the other variants of the spelling of his name—see note 2 below. The references at the foot of an article are not intended to be 'bibliographies' —they are, in principle, merely lists of the sources which the contributor has actually used, though in many instances the works mentioned do give bibliographical information. Book-titles (and occasional quotations) in Welsh are printed in the spelling (however out-dated today) of their original publication or writing. Square brackets have been used to indicate divergencies (corrections or additions) from the text of the Welsh edition; but the articles in the Appendix, and the few articles in the main text which have been entirely recast for this edition (see p.

  • From Footnotes to Narrative
    1 INTRODUCTION LANGUISHING IN THE FOOTNOTES: WOMEN AND WELSH MEDIEVAL HISTORIOGRAPHY The era known as the high Middle Ages, in particular the thirteenth century, was an epochal period for Wales. While the high Middle Ages was a period of cultural transformation in all of western Europe, in Wales it was also a time of great upheaval and complete change, which was to have a greater impact on Welsh society than was experienced by most other medieval societies. In fact, for some, the effects of this upheaval and change in Wales may be described as catastrophic. The thirteenth century has been called the ‘age of the Welsh Princes’. Under the leadership of the rulers of the house of Gwynedd, the Welsh achieved some measure of independence from their English overlords during this century. For a time the native Welsh princes were able to mitigate their characteristic unrelenting internal conflict and factionalism and unite against their Anglo-Norman oppressors.1 Fundamental changes which were to have an overwhelming effect on Wales took place in England during this period. For example, the end of the twelfth and beginning of the thirteenth centuries saw the gradual introduction of the English common law into England, much of which is still in use to this day. The ascension to the English throne in 1272 of Edward I, who unlike his two predecessors was a strong king, was another factor in this upheaval and change which took place in Wales. 1 K.

  • Adroddiad Blynyddol 1968
    ADRODDIAD BLYNYDDOL / ANNUAL REPORT 1967-68 DAVID WILLIAM BATEMAN 1968001 Ffynhonnell / Source The late Mr D W Bateman, Cardigan. Blwyddyn / Year Adroddiad Blynyddol / Annual Report 1967-68 Disgrifiad / Description Papers of David William Bateman (1898-1967) comprising poetry, prose, and music. There are thirteen files of poetry, 1947-65, some typescript and some holograph; one file contains a letter, 16 July 1951, from K. M. Baxter, author of the play ‘Gerald of Wales’. There is also a number of loose sheets containing typescript poems, a few grouped together as if in preparation for publication under the titles ‘Ten Poems’, ‘Seventeen Poems’, and ‘Under Moon and Stars’; a typescript copy of The Chosen One (Fortune Press, 1952), with reviews and letters; and press cuttings of poems which appeared in the Western Mail, The Tribune, and The Spectator, 1962-6. The holograph prose material includes five chapters of ‘The Flower and the Grass, a satire’; essays on ‘Benevenuto Cellini and his autobiography’ and ‘The Age of Saints in Wales’, and notes of an address on ‘Some Legends and Traditions of Teifyside’, 1948. There is a typescript copy of ‘Vignettes and Silhouettes: a miscellany’ which appears to be prepared for publication, and also typescript essays on ‘The Interpretation of History’ and ‘A Glory that was Spain’. The music is all holograph and consists of songs composed to words by the composer and others,-- some of these were broadcast in recitals in 1937-8, a few descants, and hymn-tunes. There are also two volumes, 1950-62, containing press cuttings of book reviews by David Bateman, published in the column ‘For your Bookshelf’ in the Western Mail, with letters from Fred Blight, C.

  • A Welsh Classical Dictionary
    A WELSH CLASSICAL DICTIONARY GADEON ap CYNAN. See Gadeon ab Eudaf Hen. GADEON ab EUDAF HEN. (330) Gadeon is probably the correct form of the name which appears in the tale of ‘The Dream of Macsen Wledig’ as Adeon ab Eudaf, brother of Cynan ab Eudaf. According to the tale, Adeon and Cynan followed Macsen to the continent and captured Rome for him. After that Macsen gave them permission to conquer lands for themselves, (see s.n. Cynan ab Eudaf), but Adeon returned to his own country (WM 187, 189-191, RM 88, 90-92). According to Jesus College MS.20 the wife of Coel Hen was the daughter of Gadeon ab Eudaf Hen (JC 7 in EWGT p.45), and this is probably correct although later versions make her the daughter of Gadeon (variously spelt) ap Cynan ab Eudaf, and she is given the name Ystradwel (variously spelt) (ByA §27a in EWGT p.90). Also in the various versions of the ancestry of Custennin ap Cynfor and Amlawdd Wledig we find Gadeon (variously spelt) ap Cynan ab Eudaf (JC 11, ByA §30b, 31, ByS §76 in EWGT pp.45, 93, 94, 65). Similarly in MG §5 in EWGT p.39, but Eudaf is misplaced. The various spellings show that the name was unfamiliar: Gadean, Gadvan, Gadiawn, Kadeaun, Cadvan, Kadien, Kadiawn. See EWGT passim. It seems probable that Gadeon ab Cynan is an error for Gadeon ab Eudaf, rather than to suppose two such persons (PCB). GAFRAN ab AEDDAN. He appears in Bonedd Gwŷr y Gogledd (§11 in EWGT p.73) as Gafran ab Aeddan Fradog ap Dyfnwal Hen.
