Education Services mid-year performance 2024-25
The committee recommended that officers consider a whole city approach to improve continuity in Welsh-medium learning from Meithrin to Reception. It requested the number of hours English-medium schools timetable for Welsh lessons, NEET destination data and drop-off rate (NEET means young people not in education, employment or training), and figures for children who move from Welsh-medium to English-medium provision.
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.
