Second private school facing closure amid falling pupil numbers
Glamorgan Gazette
|May 15, 2025
THE announcement that St Clare's School in Porthcawl planned to close was followed by similar proposals from a second private school, Oakleigh House Primary in Swansea.
-
Both schools are run by education company Cognita UK, which blamed financial pressures.
Cognita said in a statement: "This week, we shared some difficult news with our families and staff about the proposal to close Oakleigh House School.
“We carried out a comprehensive review of the school’s sustainability in light of local demographic trends and a changing economic environment, which sadly concluded that pupil numbers are expected to continue to fall to an unsustainable level in the next academic year.
