Fifth consultation on Haverfordwest schools shake-up agreed

Several protests have been held outside Pembrokeshire County Hall over education shake-up affecting Sir Thomas Picton and Tasker Milward

A fifth public consultation into the future of secondary education in Haverfordwest will take place after a Pembrokeshire council vote.

The amended proposal is for one new English-medium school with a sixth form and this would involve merging the town's two existing schools.

Previous proposals, which involved centralising sixth forms to a new centre at Pembrokeshire College, were met with a series of protests.

The consultation will begin next month.

A final decision on the new school is then set to go back before the council in July.
