Plans for how to spend money from a school in Port Talbot that closed seven years ago have taken a step forward. Neath Port Talbot Council will submit an application to the Charity Commission for England and Wales this year for the approval of a scheme that uses proceeds from the sale of the former Glanafan Comprehensive School site.
The Port Talbot-based school was closed in 2016 after being declared surplus to council requirement more than seven years ago with students relocating to two new schools at Ysgol Bae Baglan and Ysgol Cwm Brombil.
While ownership of the site has since been passed on to Coastal Housing Group, the proceeds from the sale are expected to go towards supporting teaching and learning for pupils in the schools that have replaced the former Glanafan Comprehensive School in the areas of creative technologies and systems.
