To submit a report by the Director of Education, Skills and Young People.

It was resolved –

·      To approve the delay of the implementation date of the proposal namely “to increase the capacity of Ysgol Y Graig to take pupils from Ysgol Talwrn, close Ysgol Talwrn and review the catchment areas of Ysgol Y Graig and Ysgol Talwrn” to 1 September, 2024.

·      Subject to the above, Officers will notify the “relevant parties” of the decision to defer the implementation date of the proposal for Ysgol Y Graig.

The report of the Director of Education, Skills and Young People seeking the Executive’s approval to delay the statutory notice implementation date for Ysgol y Graig and Ysgol Talwrn was presented for consideration.

Councillor Ieuan Williams, Portfolio Member for Education and the Welsh Language explained the background to the publication of the statutory notice to discontinue Ysgol Talwrn and to increase the capacity of Ysgol Y Graig to accommodate pupils from Ysgol Talwrn with the implementation date for the proposal being 1 September 2023. He referred to the numerous factors – listed in the report which have paused the start date including a longer than expected land purchase and planning consent process, restrictions during the pre-election period and the undertaking of archaeological works on site. The Executive had agreed that the original implementation date of the statutory notice was 1 September 2023 but due to the reasons outlined it is being asked to extend the period for 12 months to 1 September, 2024. Accordingly, as the proposer of the intention in the statutory notice there is a need for the Isle of Anglesey County Council’s Executive to defer the implementation date.

It was resolved –

·      To approve the delay of the implementation date of the proposal namely “to increase the capacity of Ysgol Y Graig to take pupils from Ysgol Talwrn, close Ysgol Talwrn and review the catchment areas of Ysgol Y Graig and Ysgol Talwrn” to 1 September 2024.

·      Subject to the above, Officers will notify the “relevant parties” of the decision to defer the implementation date of the proposal for Ysgol Y Graig.
