PROPOSALS to split Ysgol Calon Cymru and create a Welsh-medium all-through school at the Builth Wells campus will progress to the next stage - but questions remain unanswered.

This uncoupling would be done in two distinct phases, supposed to be completed by 2029. The Builth Wells campus would become a new Welsh-medium four to 18 all-through primary and secondary school. The Llandrindod Wells campus would provide English-medium education and continue under the Ysgol Calon Cymru brand.
