Proposal to amalgamate Blaenymaes and Portmead primary schools consultation documentation

The proposal is to discontinue Blaenymaes Primary School and Portmead Primary Schools under s43 of the School Standards and Organisation (Wales) Act 2013 on 31 August 2027 and to establish a new primary school (age range 3-11) on the existing school sites and using the same buildings under s41 of the School Standards and Organisation (Wales) Act 2013. This is essentially a school 'amalgamation'.

In September 2027 (2 and a half years from now) the council wants to make Blaenymaes Primary School and Portmead Primary School into one big school, so that they can share teachers and ideas.
