A resource base supporting children with speech and communication needs in the Vale of Glamorgan will be moved from its current site to the other side of the county. The Vale of Glamorgan Council's cabinet has approved a proposal to move the Specialist Resource Base (SRB), which has been at Llandough Primary School since 2002, to Ysgol y Ddraig in Llantwit Major.
It is hoped that the move will improve the education of pupils using the SRB by providing them with improved equipment at a more central location. Vale of Glamorgan Council leader, Cllr Lis Burnett, called the change a "really good move", whilst ward member for Llantwit Major, Cllr Gwyn John, said he was "delighted" to support it.
An area of Ysgol y Ddraig, an English-medium community school catering for 3-11 year olds, will be allocated for the SRB. It is proposed that the SRB in Ysgol y Ddraig will follow the same model as when it was located in Llandough. Pupils will be dual registered with their home schools and spend three days a week at the resource base and two days at their home school.
