People are being given the chance to vote on names for three new schools opening in Rhondda Cynon Taf, but some residents are unhappy with the choices available.
In September, 2024, RCT will be opening two new 3-16 schools in place of Pontypridd High and Clifynydd Primary School, along with Hawthorn High School, Hawthorn Primary School and Heol-y-Celyn Primary School. It will also be opening a new Welsh Primary School in place of Heol-y-Celyn Primary (Welsh pupils) and Ysgol Gynradd Gymraeg Pontsionnorton.
The consultation is open to the public to choose the proposed new names, until Wednesday, November 2, with the results being fed back to the temporary governing body. Members of the temporary governing body will then make an informed decision on the proposed name that they will submit to Cabinet for consideration.
