WREXHAM Council are set to host a drop in session to discuss the future of three primary schools.
Last month, the local authority launched a consultation on the future of three primary schools in Wrexham County Borough.
Wrexham Council’s Executive Board gave the go-ahead to consult on proposals for the Dee Valley Federation of Schools, which includes primary schools in Froncysyllte, Garth and Pentre.
Members of the public – including parents and carers – are now being asked to share their views on proposals to close the school in Froncysyllte, while retaining the schools in Garth and Pentre.
There will be a drop-in session at Froncysyllte Community Centre (Gate Road, Froncysyllte, LL20 7RH) on Monday, October 20 from 1pm until 3pm.
The session is open to anyone who wants to find out more about the proposals and share their views in person.
Councillor Phil Wynn, Lead Member for Education, said: “For the past five years, the number of pupils at all three schools has been well below capacity.

“With such low pupil numbers and so many empty spaces, it makes sense to review the structure of the Dee Valley Federation and to consider whether retaining Froncysyllte Community Primary School is sustainable.
“As a council, we have to make sure schools are viable in the long-term, but we’re also sensitive to the needs and preferences of parents and carers – so we’re encouraging people to take part in this consultation so we can get their views before deciding how to move forward.”
The consultation will run until November 7.
