Canolfan Enfys - Background
 
 
Canolfan Enfys is a foundation stage provision and assessment
centre and is based on a shared campus with Ysgol Bryn Gwalia
C.P in Mold. Since 2015, Canolfan Enfys has been structured as part
of the portfolio of Plas Derwen (Pupil Referral Unit), putting it under
the management of the Headteacher. Canolfan Enfys has a dual
function to provide a foundation stage provision for children with
complex needs whilst assessing and determining future provision for
the children that attend.
 
 
 
Why are we thinking about changing things?
 
 
The Estyn inspection of Plas Derwen in October 2023
determined that Canolfan Enfys needed improvement and
that the expertise to support the service did not sit within Plas
Derwen given the very different nature of the provision
offered and the complex needs of the children attending
Canolfan Enfys. The authority was advised to remove it from
the management of Plas Derwen and secure suitable
management through an alternative mechanism.
 
What are we proposing?
 
 
The Council is seeking to reorganise the provision at Canolfan
Enfys and move the provision from under the current
management of Plas Derwen (Pupil Referral Unit) to under the
management of Ysgol Pen Coch. The proposal will result in the
nominal capacity at Ysgol Pen Coch increasing from 98 to 128
by March 2025.
The increase in nominal capacity would be achieved through
Ysgol Pen Coch taking control of the management of Canolfan
Enfys at its current base on the same site as Ysgol Bryn Gwalia in
Mold.
 
What are the advantages and
disadvantages of the proposal?
