Powys County Council has commenced its formal consultation on plans to close Treowen Primary School and transfer pupils to Ysgol Calon y Dderwen.

As we reported three months ago, Powys County Council has revised its plans for Ysgol Calon y Dderwen by closing Treowen Primary School with pupils attending the new building at Ysgol Calon y Dderwen.

    In July last year, the Council undertook an engagement exercise and gathered the views of the public.

    Following this engagement exercise, the plans have been changed to increase the capacity of the proposed new school building at Ysgol Calon y Dderwen so that pupils from Treowen C.P. School can also be included. 

    It is the intention that, from September 2025, pupils continue to attend the existing Treowen building until the new building at Ysgol Calon y Dderwen is ready.

    When the new building opens, the Treowen site closes and all pupils then move to the new school building for Ysgol Calon y Dderwen.

    Today marked the start of the statutory consultation period. The Council has issued a consultation document alongside a online survey for interested parties to complete.
