Bridgend County Borough Council
Notice is given in accordance with section 42 of the Schools Standards and
Organisation Act 2013 and the School Organisation Code, that Bridgend County
Borough Council, having consulted such persons as required, proposes to formalise
the establishment of the learning resource centre at Llangewydd Junior School. The
school is currently maintained by Bridgend County Borough Council.
Bridgend County Borough Council undertook a period of consultation before deciding
to publish this proposal. A consultation report containing a summary of the issues
raised by the consultees, the proposer’s responses and the views of Estyn is
available on

It is proposed to formalise the establishment of the learning resource centre at
Llangewydd Junior School as from 1 September 2014. The learning resource centre
is for up to eight pupils at Key Stage 2 with communication difficulties.
The learning resource centre was previously physically located at Maes yr Haul
Primary School whilst the pupils in attendance there were on the roll of Ysgol Bryn
Castell Special School.
Under the new arrangements the learning resource centre is located at Llangewydd
Junior School and the pupils are on the roll of that school.
The arrangements for transport of pupils to the school are in accordance with the
Bridgend County Borough Council’s current School Transport Policy.
The current number of pupils at Llangewydd Junior School is 312, the pupil capacity
272 (for pupils aged 4-11). Following implementation of the proposals, the capacity
in respect of pupils aged 4-11 will remained unchanged.
The admission number for the age group 4-5 at Llangewydd Junior School is 66.
Within a period of 28 days after the date of publication of these proposals, that is to
say by 21 March 2014 any person may object to the proposals.

Explanatory Note
The effect of the above proposals is to formalise the establishment of the learning
resource centre for eight pupils at Key Stage 2 with communication difficulties on the
site of Llangewydd Junior School. Pupils who were in the learning resource centre
based at Maes yr Haul Primary School and who are on the roll of Ysgol Bryn Castell
would transfer to the roll of Llangewydd Junior School as from 1st September 2014.
These pupils have already been physically re-located into the learning resource
centre at Llangewydd Junior School. Admissions would normally take place each
September for the start of Year 3, however, there may be occasions when pupils
would be admitted at other times, subject to places being available.
The published admission number for Llangewydd Junior School is 66.
The
published admission number for a school is the minimum number of pupils aged 4-5
that the school would be required to admit on demand. More children than this
number can be admitted to the school (subject to the provisions of the Authority’s
admissions policy) if the Authority considers that there is sufficient accommodation
available at the particular time, and provided that to do so would not prejudice the
efficient use of education resources.
