Janet Finch-Saunders: Minister, I am sure that, like me, you must be delighted with the new build of Ysgol y Gogarth in Craig-y-Don, Llandudno. This school supports those children with a wide spectrum of additional learning and complex needs. It is a day and residential special school catering for approximately 180 pupils between the ages of three and 19. The redevelopment, at a cost of £18 million, now boasts a high-tech sensory room, vocational training classrooms, an amazing sports hall, with basketball and netball hoops, a climbing wall, abseiling for wheelchair users, and a hydrotherapy pool and jacuzzi. The children themselves have been largely influential in choosing some of the colour schemes and the room themes. The school is incredible and has been described as one of the best special educational needs schools in the whole of the UK. Minister, as a former school governor there myself and present at the planning stage, will you join me in placing on record our immense thanks and gratitude to the developers, Conwy County Borough Council, your own Government officials, school governors and the headteacher, Mr Jonathan Morgan? This is a very, very special school. Parents and pupils without which this school could not have been possible, enriching the lives of these very special children.
Huw Lewis: Of course I will, and I wholeheartedly join Janet Finch-Saunders in welcoming this fantastic new development for Llandudno, for north Wales and the surrounding region, which would also, of course, not have been possible without the Welsh Government’s commitment to its twenty-first century schools capital programme, which we are conducting even in the teeth of these times of austerity.
