The plans seek to address the challenges faced by both schools, including poor outcomes, surplus places, significant budget deficits and sub-standard accommodation for pupils.<br \/>\nGlyn Derw and Michaelston were federated under one governing body and an executive headteacher in 2011, but have remained on separate sites. The exceptions are year 10 and sixth form students, who are taught on the Michaelston site.<br \/>\nBetween them, the two schools had 692 surplus places in September 2013. This has impacted on funding and has led to a combined revenue deficit of about \u00a31 million.<br \/>\nUnder the proposed plans, they would remain as schools in their own right under the existing federation, but would share the Michaelston site. The Glyn Derw site will be proposed for demolition.<br \/>\nThe council have warned there may be traffic congestion around the Michaelston site following the transfer, but the council has promised to work with the school\u2019s governing body to develop a travel plan.<br \/>\nThe public consultation is being held until March 25. The council will be holding a series of meetings and drop-in sessions for people to learn more about the proposals, ask officers any questions, and make comments to help the council decide how to proceed.<br \/>\nThe first meeting will take place on Wednesday March 4, at Western Leisure Centre, from 4pm \u2013 6pm.<br \/>\nCouncillor Julia Magill, cabinet member for education and skills, said: \u201cOne of our key education priorities for children and young people in Cardiff is a good level of educational attainment.<br \/>\n\u201cThe council is committed to breaking the link between disadvantage and educational attainment and that all children should receive a good education regardless of where they live in the city.<br \/>\n\u201cWe are keen to hear the views of the public about this proposal and it is essential that people in the community have their say and are able to ask any questions during this consultation period, so I would encourage people to visit the drop-in sessions and public meetings.\u201d<br \/>\nCaerau Councillor, Peter Bradbury said: \u201cWe have got the full support of the governing body for this project. It is important that both schools have a sound financial future.\u201d<br \/>\nResidents can also give their views on the plans by completing the online form at: www.cardiff.gov.uk\/21stCenturySchools.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>People in Cardiff have been invited to give their views on the proposed closure of a secondary school and transfer of pupils to another school.
