Part of 1. 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:36 pm on 22 November 2016.
First Minister, one of the features of your Government is that very good schools, which are delivering the national curriculum, have been closing across the country, particularly in rural parts of Wales. Now, I note that there is additional assistance, which is on the way, and some changes in terms of the way that local authorities will have to think about their schools in the future. But what will you say to people in my constituency who are supporters of Ysgol Llanbedr, which is threatened with closure for the second time, and will you intervene personally to secure the future of that school, which has growing numbers of pupils, as parents are putting their confidence in the ability of that school to deliver for their children?
