Preseli Pembrokeshire AM Paul Davies is pressing the county council for answers about a planned reorganisation of primary schools in the County.
The Welsh Assembly Government has just announced £2 million worth of funding for Letterston School for "a new school as part of a major school reorganisation in north west Pembrokeshire". But it is not known what form the reorganisation will take, nor the impact it will have on nearby primary schools.
Mr Davies also wants assurances that the Welsh Assembly Government will carry out community impact assessments before any village school is closed.
"These assessments are not always happening at the moment," said Mr Davies, who is also Shadow Welsh Education Minister.
"What worries me is that when a village school closes, it has a far greater impact than just on the pupils and their education."
Mr Davies has given a cautious welcome to the extra funding for Letterston school but wants to know more about what the knock‐on effects will be.
"All the council has said is that "discussions are already progressing regarding a new area school for Letterston". I would like to know what they mean by an "area school".
