Last Penyffordd Council meeting Cllr David Williams was due to meet the headmaster of Penymynydd Junior School over the placement of the new allotments next to his school. The passing of the allotments application appeared to happen without the headmaster knowing.
The headmaster was/is not amused.
Penyffordd District Solution.
At present there is a move towards joining the two Penyffordd Junior Schools together. Perhaps if this is stretched to include Penymynydd Junior School we save the cost of a further schoolmaster and have no further problems over the ( planning passed ) extra allotments lol

What an absolute facile comment to make - merge the schools just to alleviate the allotments!
ReplyDeleteIt was a lol.
ReplyDeleteThe allotments are going ahead, plans are passed. Whilst you may find the comment facile the general proposal has merit. One large junior school in the centre of the community. Lots of savings all around. All youth together to form a more cohesive community.
hardly in the centre of the community! Plus Penymynydd is a church school. What would save money is scrapping a useless community council and councillors who are opposing the current amalgamation plans.
ReplyDeleteWhen I said centre I mean't perhaps a new school positioned on the Vounog. I didn't realise that this was such a contentious issue ( I should have ). I also did not realise that Penyffordd Community Council were opposing the current amalgamation proposals.
ReplyDeleteI'm of the opinion that Penyffordd Community council should have been made aware of any proposals being discussed in the first instance. Cllr Edwina Davies has had to ask twice to see a copy of a letter on amalgamation proposals sent out to parents. This despite cllrs being governors on schools involved.
I put my two penneth in because I pay towards the education costs with my rate payments
Parents first - councillors and local community second. More building work and traffic in the middle of the village - very sensible suggestion. You think county would pay for this - they won't even pay for the amalgamated infants and juniors to be on one site.
ReplyDeleteSurely an amalgamated school releases land from one or two sites to build houses?
DeleteI agree with the comments above - 'I'm a rate payer, I'm entitled...' view is a bankrupt one - doesn't entitle you to a say - be an active positive stakeholder...easy to be critical and negative...difficult to be positive and contribute something worthwhile
ReplyDeleteAlso, Penymynydd Junior School doesn't exist. The full name of the school is St Johns the Baptist Voluntary Aided Primary School. It's not a junior school, it encompasses infants and juniors. Plus as a voluntary aided school, the site and building is owned by the Church in Wales, not the council.
ReplyDeleteYou say "Plus as a voluntary aided school, the site and building is owned by the Church in Wales, not the council."
Deletebut paid for by me and other Flintshire ratepayers
"Paid for by me and I'm a tax payer" again again - it doesn't entitle you to an equal a voice as the parents whose children actually attend the school
ReplyDeleteMore houses in the village - really????
ReplyDeleteMore traffic....and you're the one always going on about speeding traffic - oh do be consistent
You say "More houses in the village - really????"
DeleteI didn't say that.
The speeding traffic is still happening wholesale but perhaps not for much longer.
Some of us - the parents - don't actually want our children taught in a bigger school, with more children. The beauty of the schools is their size and intimate care they get. We need to protect village life and not merge and become progressively bigger at everything
