Ysgol Calon Cymru
Ysgol Calon Cymru and Builth Wells C.P. School
Powys County Council is consulting on proposals affecting Ysgol Calon Cymru and Builth Wells C.P. School in Mid Powys.
The proposals are as follows:
Phase 1 (September 2027):
To establish a new Welsh-medium all-age school (4-18) on the current Builth campus of Ysgol Calon Cymru.
- Initially the school would share the Builth campus with Ysgol Calon Cymru, using part of its building and sharing some facilities.
- This would be a temporary arrangement until there has been capital investment on the Llandrindod site.
To change the language category of Builth Wells C.P. School to English-medium.
- Pupils in the Welsh-medium stream at Builth Wells C.P. School would move to the new Welsh-medium all-age school.
To change the language category of Ysgol Calon Cymru from dual stream to English-medium.
- Pupils in years 7, 8 and 9 in the Welsh-medium stream of Ysgol Calon Cymru in September 2027 would transfer to the new Welsh-medium all-age school. The Welsh-medium stream of Ysgol Calon Cymru would be phased out by September 2029.
Phase 2 (September 2029 at the earliest):
Following capital investment on the Llandrindod campus to accommodate all Ysgol Calon Cymru pupils and improve existing facilities, Ysgol Calon Cymru would close its Builth Wells campus and operate solely from the Llandrindod campus.
- Pupils from the school's Builth Wells campus would move to the Llandrindod site
- The Welsh-medium all-age school would take over the whole of the Builth campus.
The consultation started on Wednesday 14 May 2025 and will end on Wednesday 2 July 2025.
