This morning’s Western Mail reports that one of the three schools in Wales due to stay open despite having no pupils, will now be shutting earlier than planned.
Ceredigion Council has announced that Mydroilyn Primary School near Llanarth will officially close on September 1 this year after the Assembly Government agreed to a modification of the original statutory proposal for the school’s closure on January 1, 2011.
However, two other schools in Wales are due to remain open without pupils: Ysgol Abergynolwyn near Tywyn in Gwynedd and Capel Iwan Primary, near Newcastle Emlyn, Carmarthenshire, which is staying open even though its 12 pupils left in July.
Capel Iwan has been told by local education officials that it must be ready to open in the autumn at a cost of £110,000 budget, which includes a headteacher, caretaker and dinner lady, as well as heating and lighting costs..
