Representatives of the Vale of Glamorgan Council and National Association of Headteachers (NAHT) have met to discuss ongoing concerns regarding the issuing of Formal Warning Notices to seven schools in the Vale.

On the basis that there has been good progress made by a number of schools on their deficit recovery plans, the Council has confirmed that it will withdraw the warning notices against these schools.

A joint protocol will be agreed between the NAHT and the Local Authority to ensure that, if the need arises in the future, there is a commitment by both parties to work in partnership in what is a challenging financial environment.

In the meantime, regular engagement with schools will continue to maintain the progress made and address any ongoing concerns.

The Council and NAHT will also meet regularly to monitor progress and discuss any concerns that may arise in the future.
