I would suggest that we never again \u2018consult\u2019 on a specific proposal which we have absolutely no intention of implementing.&#8221;<br \/>\nParents and children from Roath Park Primary attended County Hall on Tuesday, where Cabinet Member for Education Sarah Merry defended sticking with Option A.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Living together, growing together, learning together &#8211; that&#39;s what we are championing here at County Hall.

We have to bear that in mind when looking at the responses. It doesn\u2019t mean at all that we are disregarding these views, but we have to think about how other parents might feel as well,\u201d she told committee members.<br \/>\nA feeder system would disadvantage pupils at faith or Welsh-medium primary schools who do not wish to attend faith or Welsh-medium secondary schools, she said. It would also disadvantage children whose families move house during their primary years and who do not get a place at a feeder school.<br \/>\nHowever, in her letter to Cabinet, Coun Lent wrote that there had been no argument \u201cof any substance\u201d for claims that Option A would benefit most parents &#8211; and said that Coun Merry had ignored the benefits of children transitioning to secondary school with their peers.<br \/>\nShe also refuted Coun Merry&#8217;s assumption that the results weren\u2019t representative.<br \/>\n\u201cThe assertion that if people knew about the effects, they would have gone for option A is the worst sort of argument. It\u2019s ridiculous,\u201d she told The Cardiffian.<br \/>\n\u201cThere may well be a lot of parents who didn\u2019t respond who would also have preferred option B.\u201d<br \/>\nAt the meeting, Coun Merry also stressed that consultations do not necessarily change things, telling the committee: \u201cit is not an actual vote on outcomes, no matter how frustrating that might be.\u201d<br \/>\nBut this prompted anger amongst Roath Park Primary parents.<br \/>\n\u201cWhat I want to know is how much did the consultation actually cost? Because Sarah Merry\u2019s comments today have proven that consultations are just there to tick a box, so they don\u2019t mean anything, said Shavanah Taj, who has two children in Reception and Year 2.<br \/>\n\u201cJust don\u2019t do it in the first place then, and don\u2019t make a mockery of the whole system.\u201d<br \/>\nCommittee members echoed these statements.<br \/>\n\u201cIt does make a mockery of the consultation,\u201d said Carol Cobert, Church in Wales representative.<br \/>\n\u201cI have been involved in lots of consultations. It is a tick-box exercise and that is the frustration,\u201d said Labour councillor and committee chair Lee Bridgeman<br \/>\nThe committee is advising Cabinet not to ditch the feeder schools idea until there has been an impact assessment to judge whether Option A really is better for children.<br \/>\n\u201cCabinet should delay its decision until they have done an impact assessment on children currently affected by Option A: the kids who haven\u2019t got a place, who would have got a place in a feeder school. Who are these pupils, and what are their backgrounds?\u201d said Rebecca Crump, parent governor representative.<br \/>\nThe committee\u2019s letter will be sent to Cabinet before tomorrow\u2019s meeting \u2013 where Roath Park parents plan on continuing the fight.<br \/>\n\u201cAs far as we\u2019re concerned, today is the starting point of a much longer fight,\u201d said Ms Taj on Tuesday. \u201cCome Thursday we will be standing outside and we will be making sure that our councillors hear us.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CARDIFF Council has been accused of \u201cmaking a mockery\u201d of public consultations with plans to ditch the idea of feeder schools despite 79% of people voting for them. \u201cThere was no point even consulting.
