Wrexham County Borough Council are holding a formal consultation on the following proposal:
To reduce the Published Admission Number (PAN) Wat’s Dyke Community Primary School from 45 to 30 with effect from September 2026.

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.
