Expansion proposal for Radyr Primary School
There is a current consultation on expanding Radyr Primary School to become 2-form entry. The birth-rate in Radyr and Morganstown, for the last three years, has demanded about 90 places in the reception classes of the two local schools. This is a huge increase since 2006 when I became a governor at Radyr Primary, when the catchment areas only demanded 40 to 50 of the available 75 places. For the last four years Radyr Primary has been allowed to accept an intake of 60 rather than 45; the purpose of the consultation is to make this a permanent intake. If the consultation does not result in the proposals being carried, this will impact severely on 30 pupils and their parents in September 2017, and increased numbers will suffer disruption as the enforced lower intake runs through the school.
