Determination

During the consultation period concerns were raised and received from secondary schools in Barry. Consequently, counter proposals were made by the three English medium secondary schools to work with the Council to manage demand in the Barry area. As a result of this, the outcome of this consultation was a proposed amendment to the initial proposal as follows;

Discontinuation of the proposal to establish a dual catchment area for St Cyres School to include Pencoedtre High School catchment area.
Inclusion of an additional criterion in the secondary school oversubscription criteria prioritising pupils who were on roll at a previous feeder school prior to the withdrawal of the feeder arrangement for a period of three years commencing 2022/23
Progress with the proposal to change the Ysgol Dewi Sant catchment area.

The Council carefully considered all comments received at its Cabinet meeting on the 22 March 2021 together with the amendment to the initial proposal. Cabinet approved the amendments as described above to discontinue the establishment of a dual catchment area for St Cyres School, to include an additional criterion in the secondary school oversubscription criteria to reflect previous feeder school arrangements and to change the Ysgol Dewi Sant catchment area. The arrangements will become policy for the academic year 2022/23.
