Ymatebydd: Ysgol Bryn Elian

What BP 45 fails to identify is the fact that Ysgol Bryn Elian is oversubscribed because of parental choice. 267 pupils who attend the school are out of its traditional catchment area as parents have exercised their right to choose a Secondary school for their child.

The school would not be oversubscribed, in fact, not full if only pupils from the catchment area attended.

This has a major bearing on section 6 of the council document, section 6.2. Ysgol Bryn Elian would have capacity to accommodate pupils over time to accept all pupils in its catchment area.

Noted. School capacity and catchment areas policies fall outside of the remit of the Replacement LDP. BP45 was written in consultation with CCBC Education Services. Planning Officers have worked and will continue to work with CCBC Education Services to assess the impact of new residential developments on school capacity, and financial contributions will be sought where justified.
