CALLS have been made to halt the school merger consultation in Brecon. Last week a consultation started on proposals to merge Mount Streets Infants School, Mount Street Junior School and Cradoc County Primary School. .A Pupil Referral Unit (PRU) and a community swimming pool would also be part of the scheme. If it goes ahead, the new primary school will operate from the three current sites from September 2022, before moving to a new 360-place English-medium primary school on the site of the old Brecon High School in the future. But, there are concerns that holding a consultation during the coronavirus pandemic will not be fair to the community, and people will be unable to make their views known.

CONSULTATION on plans to create a new primary school in Powys by merging three existing schools has begun, the county council has said. Powys County Council (PCC) is proposing to merge Mount Streets Infants School, Mount Street Junior School and Cradoc County Primary School in Brecon to create a new super primary school as part of transforming education plans for the Brecon catchment area. The council’s cabinet gave the go-ahead last December to start formal consultation on the plans. Now the council is asking for views from the public on the proposals, which it says would improve the education entitlement and experience for future learners.
