Background Information-Acton Park School

Wrexham County Borough Council are holding a formal consultation on the following proposal:

·       To reduce the Published Admission Number (PAN) at Acton Park Community Primary School from 60 to 30 with effect from September 2026.

The Council is proposing these changes as over the past 3 years demand for pupil places at Acton Park Community Primary School has declined and forecasts indicate that the number of surplus places at the school is projected to increase.

The Welsh Language Standards promote and facilitate the Welsh language and ensure that the Welsh language is not treated less favourably than the English language in Wales. As a public body, the Council is fully committed to and is legally bound to comply with the Welsh language standards. This consultation is underpinned by a number of impact assessments, including a Welsh Language Impact Assessment which is publicly available on the Council’s website and can be read alongside questions relating to the Welsh language in this survey.

Following consultation on this proposed change, the Council will consider whether the proposal should be implemented.

This is your opportunity to ask questions and make comments that will be considered by the Council’s Executive Board, who will decide how to proceed.
