A SECOND public meeting has been arranged to discuss Pembrokeshire County Council’s decision to review education provision on the Angle peninsula.

Monkton Priory Church Hall in Pembroke was full to capacity for a meeting on October 6 and it was quickly apparent that a second public meeting would need to be organised.

This will now take place on Tuesday, October 21 at the same venue in Church Terrace, from 6.30pm to 8pm when – as before – the Council’s Head of Education, Kate Evan-Hughes, will make a presentation followed by a question and answer session.

To reserve a place ring 01437 764551.

The Council is considering several options for education on the peninsula, three of which are:

• retaining all four school sites - with Angle and Stackpole VC schools coming under one federated umbrella as will Orielton and Monkton Priory CP schools

• federating Angle and Stackpole VC schools and closing Orielton CP School with pupils transferring to Monkton Priory or Golden Grove Community School/Ysgol Gelli Aur

• closing Angle, Stackpole and Orielton schools with a new school-either Community (CP) or Voluntary Controlled (VC) set up on one of the sites.

At this stage in the consultation process, alternative suggestions are also welcome.

Consultation documents and response forms are available on: www.pembrokeshire.gov.uk/haveyoursay

The final date for responses is Monday, November 10.
