The process of merging two primary schools in Newtown which will eventually see one closed, has been approved by senior Powys County Councillors.

At a meeting of the council’s Cabinet on Tuesday , councillors received the objections report to the proposal for merging Treowen primary school and Ysgol Calon y Dderwen in Newtown.The second phase of the process would see a bigger school built at the Calon y Dderwen site during 2026/2027 with the pupils at Treowen to eventually go there.The legal objection period took place between May 9 and June 6.

“Before you take this proposal any further could you speak to him to see how he and his government could help keep this school open as the community has pleaded with us to do.”Education is a devolved matter for the Welsh Government. Councillor Baynham said: “This decision will damage the community and public trust in the council, who feel this has been a done deal from day one and the consultation has only been done to conform with the law of how a closure can be upheld.”

Councillor Church said, “The new schools in Welshpool are in excellent modern buildings which provide very good facilities for young people and are more cost efficient to the council.”
