Update on Local Schools

It's complicated to keep track of what's happening with the local primary schools at the moment. The latest news is on the front page of the Brecon and Radnor this week.
So - Clyro School was due to get a makeover (practically a rebuild) as part of the plans for primary schools in this area. Now, however, the decision has been deferred until October 2nd, when the future of Rhosgoch School will also be considered. Rhosgoch was going to be closed.
Llanigon was going to close too, and the pupils transferred to Hay School - but there are problems with that course of action at the moment, as Hay School needs to be rebuilt before it gets more children, and while doubts about Hay School's future remain, it would probably be better for Llanigon's children to remain where they are.

So Hay needs a new school, and there has been intense opposition to the plans for the site to be sold off to a developer to pay for it. Clyro was going to be renovated, but it would probably be better to build an entirely new school there, given the short time scale and other problems. Llanigon was going to close, but won't until something has been decided about Hay.

And talks continue....
