Schools not laptops

Torfaen councilors have been busy this week discussing the closure of Ponthir School
I have been in touch with the Council to point out that this is a first rate school fully supported by the parents and asking why the Council want to close it - I suspect the reasons are financial.
Parents wondering about how they will get their children, some as young as 4, to a school several miles away are unlikely to be impressed by the fact that councilors have been considering another important (to them) matter this week - how much to spend on their personal laptops!
