Education minister visits Torfaen Learning Zone in Cwmbran

Behind the lens: No-one see the world in the same way

THE South Wales Argus Camera Club has more than 4,400 members and we regularly feature their pictures both in paper and online. But we thought it would be good to find out more about the people who make up the club. If you are a member of the club and want to be part of the our Behind the Lens feature go to www.southwalesargus.co.uk/behindthelens and fill out the easy to use Q&A. Today we meet Lyndsey Watson, 37, who is a communications officer at Torfaen County Borough Council. When and why did you take up photography? I ve always been interested in photography since I can remember.

Expansion plans for Cwmbran s Crownbridge School approved

Crownbridge School, Croesyceiliog, Cwmbran A MAJOR expansion of a special school in Cwmbran has been given the go-ahead after following months of consultation. Crownbridge School in Croesyceiliog will be expanded by 50 places after the Torfaen council cabinet member for education, Cllr Richard Clark, made the final decision. The move will increase the school s intake to 130 pupils. Crownbridge caters for children with severe and profound learning difficulties, and has a primary department based at Penygarn Community Primary School in Pontypool, which caters for children aged two-11years. The secondary department moved to its then new Croesyceiliog site from its former base at Sebastopol, Pontypool, back in 2012, at which time 80 places were deemed sufficient to meet demand.

Final decision due on plans to expand Crownbridge school

The expansion is expected to cost £6.9 million, of which 75 per cent will be funded by the Welsh Government, and 25 per cent by Torfaen County Borough Council. A Torfaen council report said that the school has been oversubscribed for the last few years with some pupils being refused places. When students can’t be catered for within the county, some are being sent out to a private provider, which can cost the authority £90,000 a year compared to an in-house cost of £32,000. Crownbridge School was built with a capacity of 80, but the pressures of oversubscription has led to the repurposing of some specialist areas and meeting rooms to allow 95 pupils to be on the roll.
