🌟 Exciting news in Cardiff! 🌟 There’s a growing push for a new Welsh-medium school, and over 80 notable figures are stepping up to support the cause! 🎶📚
Musicians, actors, artists, and poets have signed a public letter urging Cardiff Council to open a Welsh-medium school in the south side. The passionate plea aims to address the educational needs in Butetown, Grangetown, and nearby areas. 🎭📖
Currently, demand for Welsh-medium Year 7 spots is projected to exceed available spaces for the 2027/28 school year. Cardiff Council is welcoming community input through March 26 to discuss the future of Welsh-medium education. 📝🤔
Council officials assure us that while there’s a short-term spike predicted, they’ve got strategies in place to ensure every student who wants a Welsh-medium spot will secure one. Trust in Cardiff’s commitment to expanding Welsh language education remains strong, with the aim to have 25-29% of Year 1 students in Welsh-medium education by 2031! 🎓🇬🇧
The call for a school aims to bring social justice and equitable access to all. Dafydd Iwan and other notable artists stress the importance of growing Welsh-medium schools, especially in our capital city. This is more than just an educational opportunity—it’s about enriching our multicultural communities with the beauty of the Welsh language. 🌍✨
Cardiff’s been active, building new primary schools and expanding existing ones to pave the way for more Welsh-medium education. Now’s the time for a new secondary school to serve the south and showcase that the Welsh language belongs to everyone! 💪❤️
Let’s show our support for this vital initiative. A fourth Welsh-medium secondary could be a reality soon, ensuring every child has the chance to learn and thrive in Welsh. Join the conversation and help shape the future of Cardiff’s education landscape! 🙌📣
