Motion NDM7606 as amended

To propose that the Senedd:

1. Believes that all children and young people should have the opportunity to learn in the best learning environments.

2. Recognises that local authorities are responsible for planning school places and choosing an appropriate learning model for a particular area.   

3. Notes that when making major changes to schools, including school closures, local authorities must comply with the School Organisation Code and take into account a range of factors, the prime concern being the interests of learners.

4. Welcomes that the Welsh Government:

a) has prioritised investment in the schools and colleges estate and continues to do so through its 21st Century Schools and Colleges Programme;

b) will invest in excess of £300 million in our schools and colleges this year; the highest annual spend since the programme commenced;

c) scrutinises investment in the 21st Century Schools and Colleges Programme to ensure that active travel is a key part of the new provision; and

d) is reviewing the Learner Travel (Wales) Measure 2008, which sets the conditions under which local authorities are required to provide home to school travel for learners, to ensure that it remains fit for purpose.

Open the vote. Close the vote. For the amended motion 29, three abstentions, 25 against. Therefore, the amended motion is carried.
