Councillor Fouweather asked:

There have recently been situations where children have not been able to find a place at their allocated secondary school due to over subscription.

Can the cabinet member tell me how many extra places for secondary school children are required.

Is there likely to be a new secondary school built and has a location been identified. If so what is the time frame?

Are the council likely to extend by building onto current secondary schools, If so what is the time frame?

Councillor D Davies responded:

Councillor Fouweather should note that many of the questions raised have broad similarities to Cllr Matthew Evans questions and the response to Question 2025/10. However, this additional information should support clarity on paragraphs 3 and 4:

The council is committed to providing an additional 700 English medium and 500 Welsh medium places within the Sustainable Communities for Learning rolling programme. These plans are likely to emerge from 2027 onwards but are still at an early scoping stage.
