The preferred location for a new 3-16 Catholic school in Merthyr Tydfil is now the current Bishop Hedley High School site.
A report to a special full council meeting on Wednesday, March 16 recommends building the new 3-16 school on the current Bishop Hedley site with a school sports pitch provided on Plateau two of the Buttercup Fields at a cost of nearly £48m.
It follows several consultations on where to build the new school after the community voiced its opposition to building on The Greenie playing fields or the Buttercup Fields.
