Purpose

To seek Cabinet approval to begin the relevant
and required statutory consultation for the proposal to amalgamate
St Anthony's Roman Catholic Primary School, St David's Roman
Catholic Primary School and St Mary's Roman Catholic Primary School
and St Richard Gwyn Catholic High School to create a 3-18 All
Through School for the Roman Catholic School Network

Content

(a)       That the contents of
the report be noted, and the rationale for the proposal from the
Catholic Diocese of Wrexham as they seek to effectively manage
their school estate in Flintshire in the context of falling pupil
numbers and funding challenges; and
 
(b)       That approval be
given to commence consultation with relevant stakeholders on the
proposal to close St Anthony’s Catholic Primary School, St
David’s Catholic Primary School, St Mary’s Catholic
Primary School and St Richard Gwyn Catholic High School and open a
new 3-18 all-through Catholic school to provide for learning
provision for the Catholic community.
