Reorganising additional learning needs (ALN) provision in schools
Cabinet approved four changes: (1) the language medium of the Cognition and Learning Support Centre (LSC) at YGG Trebannws changes to Welsh-medium from September 2026; (2) a new 16-place Cognition and Learning LSC for pupils aged 11 to 16 is set up at Ysgol Gymraeg Ystalyfera Bro Dur from September 2027; (3) Ysgol Maes Y Coed gains 40 extra pupil places from April 2028; (4) the Pupil Inclusion Centre at Awel y Mor Primary becomes a permanent primary Behavioural, Emotional and Social needs LSC from September 2026. The decisions take effect after the three-day call-in period, which allows councillors to ask for a decision to be reviewed before it is put into effect.
Education Scrutiny Committee. Scrutiny committees question decisions and can recommend changes. They don't make the decision.
Establishing new additional learning needs (ALN) centres
Scrutiny supported the recommendation going to Cabinet.
Items are linked when their titles share most of their words and they fall within 18 months of each other. Councils don't number reports across meetings, so a few links may be wrong, and a step may be missing if its title changed a lot. Each step links to the meeting, where the council's own papers are.
