We therefore support the Council\u2019s efforts as set out in the consultation document.\u201d<br \/>\nCoun Merry agrees that the new high school will \u201crepresent a big investment in the city\u201d.<br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10027\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10027\" style=\"width: 200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/cardiffian.jomec.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/merry.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-10027\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10027\" src=\"http:\/\/cardiffian.jomec.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/merry.jpg\" alt=\"Cabinet Member for Education Sarah Merry\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10027\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10027\" src=\"http:\/\/cardiffian.jomec.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/merry.jpg\" alt=\"Cabinet Member for Education Sarah Merry\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" \/><\/noscript><\/a> <strong>Cabinet Member for Education Sarah Merry<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\n\u201cThere\u2019s no doubt that if you\u2019ve got children that are going into substandard school buildings without the right facilities then it sends the wrong message to those children about the value of education.<br \/>\n\u201cIf you\u2019re putting them into state of the art school classrooms with excellent sporting facilities and opportunities for extra curricular activities you transform the expectations for those children.<br \/>\n\u201cThe building will also be available to the community, with new sporting facilities and sections of the building that can be used for community events.<br \/>\n\u201cWe\u2019re hoping the new school will become a flagship school, and an example of the kind of education we want to offer to Cardiff.\u201d<br \/>\n<strong>What does this mean for your area?<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/cardiffian.jomec.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Screen-Shot-2016-03-11-at-14.38.47.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-10047\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10047 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/cardiffian.jomec.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Screen-Shot-2016-03-11-at-14.38.47.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"740\" height=\"358\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10047 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/cardiffian.jomec.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Screen-Shot-2016-03-11-at-14.38.47.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"740\" height=\"358\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Gabalfa &amp;
