The Tenby Observer understands that a recommendation to discontinue Manorbier VC School - which was left devastated by fire back in 2022 - is to be put to a full meeting of Pembrokeshire County Council.
It is understood that, as part of their role in reviewing education provision in the Tenby area, members of the School Modernisation Working Group have made a recommendation to full Council for statutory consultation to be commenced on the proposal, after considering the evidence on a range of factors.
Full council will be asked to consider the case for change at its meeting on Thursday, May 8.
The Council will at first be required to consult with the St David’s Diocese, with its subsequent response needing to be considered prior to approval to undertake general consultation.
Councillors had heard at the end of last year, that there would be hopes the school would be back open by April 2026, at a cost of around £2.6m to reinstate the facility.
