Councillor Hag Harries, Cabinet Member with responsibility for Learning Services said: “Ceredigion County Council are required to submit a ‘Strategic Outline Programme Request for Change’ to the Welsh Government in order for the project to escalate to band A to include the Primary and Secondary element of the school.”
The document includes a programme for a new primary school build and refurbishment of the secondary building at Ysgol Henry Richard.
Councillor Hag Harries added: “There is a pressing need for the building work on the primary element of the 3-16 school in Tregaron to begin, as the conditions of both sites at Tregaron are deemed to be unsatisfactory and graded D. This is subject to identifying additional match funding of £1.25m, that the full project be included within band A.”
The Council approved a 3-16 School in Tregaron on 18 June 2014, with the school opening as a 3-16 School on three separate sites from September 2014.
