PLANS for a £4.5 million building in Barry to accommodate vulnerable learners have been approved.
Vale of Glamorgan Council agreed to the plans for the Centre for Learning and Wellbeing - set to open in 2023 on the Council's Court Road site - which will replace the existing Pupil Referral Unit and offer students state-of-the-art facilities.
The centre will cater for secondary school-age pupils, while another resource for primary pupils already established at Gladstone Primary School is to be made permanent.
Both facilities will be managed by the Council’s special school Ysgol Y Deri and adopt a trauma-informed approach to supporting students.
