At the meeting on 13th May 2025, Conwy County Borough Council’s Cabinet granted approval to proceed to consultation on the proposal to amalgamate Ysgol T Gwynn Jones and Ysgol Iau Hen Golwyn.

This period of consultation will last from 3rd June 2025 until the 15th July 2025.
The Council will carefully consider any comments and observations made in writing by this date.

As a result of the consultation the Council may decide not to proceed any further with the proposal or to go ahead with the proposal or a modified version of it. Any formal proposal would be set out and published in the form of a public statutory notice.

The Council has the powers to propose expansions or closures of schools. If proposals are published following this period of consultation, there then follows a statutory 28-day period during which further representations and formal objections can be made.

Any responses during the Consultation will not be regarded as formal objections. To have responses considered as statutory objections they must be made in writing or by email within the 28-day objection period.

Whether or not objections are received within the statutory period, the proposal will be determined by the Authority at the end of the 28-day objection period. Conwy Cabinet is expected to determine this publication in September/October 2025.
