Question
How will the Welsh Government ensure that the key functions currently delivered by Community Focused Schools, including family engagement, early intervention, partnership coordination and community use of school facilities, are sustained once this dedicated capacity is removed?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Minister for Education and the Welsh Language (Anna Brychan)
I have taken these three questions together as they are interrelated.
There has been no change in the funding and guidance provided by Welsh Government to Merthyr Tydfil Council to support Communities Focused Schools (CFS) approaches. I am aware that there are discussions underway about changes to the way in which CFS services are delivered within the Merthyr Tydfil local authority area, and as part of those considerations they are considering the impacts and opportunities any changes present.
