We are trying to gauge the reaction of parents from both schools and members of the wider community with regards the proposal to amalgamate Eagleswell Primary School with LLanilltud Fawr on the same site as LLantwit Major Comprehensive and Ysgol Gymraeg Dewi Sant. The sale of the land on which Eagleswell School sits will fund the project. The rumour is that this land is to be sold for more housing and a convenience store. These proposals will impact on the lives of many. We are in no doubt that a brand new school will do wonders for staff and pupil morale however, as with everything, there are pros and cons, losing the small school ethos for one and traffic congestion. We feel that as parents and members of the local community, we should have a choice in the type of school our children attend. Please sign this petition if you are against the closure of Eagleswell School to fund the amalgamation of two schools on an already pupil saturated site

Please don't amalgamate 2 schools into one, the parking and road congestion is already horrendous, dangerous and far too heavy on Ham Lane already. If you combine schools, the traffic will double, someone will get killed crossing that road. Think very carefully, would you want a childs life on YOUR conscious?
To take such an action is terrible. My granddaughter attended Eagleswell and I always found the standards high and the kids happy. This is a typical cost cutting process without any regard for the childrens education.
I would expect that the convenience store should be able to buy more appropriate land, rather than kick a number of small children outmoded the education system and classrooms they are use to, let alone forcing them into a bigger school with much older children. It is not right!
With the new houses bring built on the other side of town we need all the schools we can get. Why should locals have to travel a greater distance for their children to go to school especially those that don't drive. I attended this school many moons ago and my children did too. Leave the school alone!!
So they want to build houses which will mean more children to educate,so they will cram more and ore children,until they need to build a new school to facilitate the ever increasing numbers of children,so why not rebuild Eagleswell,and build there houses else where
Destruction of a community school and a green space. Labour (the workers' party!!!) and their Llantwit Major First mates seem quite happy to do this in one of the less wtwell-off areas of the town. Yet council tax in Llantwit is higher than Coutwbridge and all the leafy villages out in the Vale...... )
My children had an excellent education at the school. Smaller primary schools are less intimidating and better of a child's education. 'Super schools' are not the answer. Good luck with the campaign

In a bigger school easier for child to get lost in the system and ignored. In Smaller schoo teachers no all their pupils and their needs. Why is this suddenly becoming so important its being rushed through? D
