Ysgol Rowen is a small rural school at the heart of the community in the Conwy Valley, North Wales. Conwy County Borough Council's school modernisation programme has earmarked Ysgol Rowen, Ysgol Tal-Bont and Ysgol Trefriw for potential closure. It is our strong belief that closing the school would not improve the already high educational standards or save any money at all and we demand that the Council listen to our views and find alternative options.
It is our strong belief that closing the school would not improve the already high educational standards or save any money at all. The school closure is being put forward merely to meet Welsh Assembly targets on reducing 'unfilled places' which cost the tax payer nothing.


Ysgol fechan cefn gwlad sy’n rhan annatod o’i chymuned yn Nyffryn Conwy, Gogledd Cymru yw Ysgol Rowen.  Clustnodwyd Ysgol Rowen, Ysgol Tal y Bont, Ysgol Dolgarrog ac Ysgol Trefriw fel rhai fydd bosib yn cau gan Raglen Moderneiddio Cyngor Bwrdeistref Sirol Conwy.  Maent yn awgrymu y dylid adeiladu ysgol ardal newydd ond does dim arian ar gael i’w wireddu.  Sefydlwyd y grŵp yma i fynnu bod y Cyngor yn ystyried opsiynau amgenach ac fel llwyfan i’n llais.  Credir yn gryf na fydd cau’r ysgol yn gwella’r safonau uchel sydd eisoes yn bodoli nac hyd yn oed wneud unrhyw wir arbedion ariannol.  Dim ond er mwyn cyflawni targed Y Cynulliad Cenedlaethol i leihau ‘llefydd gweigion’ nad yw’n costio dim i’r trethdalwr.

The feedback from local families reinforces my conviction that the heart of our community remains within these classroom walls. I have been drafting a detailed response to the Council to challenge the logic of their current modernisation proposal. We remain dedicated to ensuring our concerns are fully evaluated.

The momentum behind this effort reflects how much our school means to the valley. Seeing so many people recognize the value of our community confirms that these local institutions deserve protection.

The council have no idea what they are throwing away. Small schools are where kids actually learn best.
