A consultation will be launched for people to share their views on plans for a new special school in Rhondda Cynon Taf. A report agreed by the council’s cabinet on Wednesday, June 28 recommended the council starts a consultation on building a new 3-19 special school in the county borough.
The consultation is proposing that the new special school be built on the site of the council headquarters in Clydach Vale, which the council is set to leave. The consultation will also include catchment areas for the current 3-19 special schools – which are Park Lane Special School, Ysgol Hen Felin and Ysgol Ty Coch.
The report said that children and young people who wish to remain in their existing special school special school following the catchment changes can continue to do so. However, all new placements will be under the revised catchment areas once the changes are put in place, so that children attend their local special school.
