Exciting news for Porthcawl! π Plans for a new Welsh-medium seedling school have been submitted to Bridgend County Borough Council. This proposal aims to expand the educational opportunities in the area by introducing a facility on the grounds of the existing Porthcawl Primary School. π
If approved, the new school will offer 30 nursery and 30 reception places, along with childcare for up to 16 full-time spots and six places for children from birth to two years old. Talk about a comprehensive start for the little ones! πΆπ»π Additionally, the development includes two new all-weather multi-use games areas for everyone to enjoy.
The project has received funding from the Welsh Government and is designed with future growth in mind. This ‘starter class’ will be run by Ysgol y Ferch oβr SgΘr, ensuring a smooth transition for students into their primary education. πΏπ«
Porthcawl has been identified as a key location for these Welsh-medium facilities, strengthening the pathway from early childcare into primary school. As the community awaits the decision from the planning department, this development promises to positively shape the educational landscape in the region. πβ¨
