Flintshire should be ashamed of what they are proposing which is watering down Welsh language provision. It is so short sighted and short term. I thought Welsh medium schools had a protected status and that it was the tiny English medium rural schools that were at risk and made more sense to merge or close. This is simply a cost cutting exercise that has not been thought out. I know that the two primary schools in question are under subscribed, but at the same time they need to acknowledge that Croes Atti and Glanrafon are bursting at the seams and we could actually do with Welsh language super primary schools. If there is no full Welsh medium provison in the future at Treuddyn, where on earth will those children go? Glanrafon needs an extension on an extension!
Lets hope enough people get behind the campaign and we stop them in their tracks.
