Thank you, Paul, for that question and the points you make regarding the importance of delivering change in Pembrokeshire to further improve the educational outcomes for children and young people in your constituency. You will be aware that, if there are any changes, there is a possibility that some of those changes will be referred to Welsh Government for decision. Therefore, it would not be right for me to make any comments on the merits of any proposals.

I do expect councils, as I said, to comply with the obligations that are placed on them by the school organisation code. I am due to go out to consultation on the robustness of that code later next month. But I’m keen to ensure that all authorities take advantage of the £1.4 billion that exists in the twenty-first century schools programme to deliver up-to-date, first-class facilities, which we know makes a massive impact on the teaching of the teachers who teach in those buildings and the children who receive their education in them.
