The future of three Bridgend schools is set to be decided next week, as the local council meets to discuss plans regarding its new school modernisation programme.
The monthly cabinet meeting that takes place next week on October 18, will see council bosses decide on proposals for the enlargement or re-location of three local schools in the borough - Coety Primary School, Ysgol Gymraeg Bro Ogwr, and Heronsbridge School.
After a consultation process members will first have to decide on whether or not to proceed with a proposed enlargement at Ysgol Gymraeg Bro Ogwr, with proposals to relocate the existing school to a new building on land off Ffordd Cadfan, located just 0.2 miles from the existing site in Brackla. Officers said this new site would create additional opportunities for more learners to access a Welsh- medium education, as well as increasing the capacity from 378 to 525 for learners aged between 4 and 11 years.
