A mother with a child at Ysgol Y Garreg, described by reports as Britain’s smallest school, is criticising plans to close the school in north Wales. The school has only two pupils, and authorities say educating each student costs about £21,000, which is reported as roughly triple the county average following a decline in pupil numbers. The mother argues her son is receiving the “best education” and says the closure decision is therefore “disgusting.” The reporting highlights how low enrolment is driving higher per-pupil spending and puts the school’s future under review. The coverage focuses on the balance between maintaining very small rural schools and the financial and planning pressures that come with dwindling intake. The dispute centres on whether the benefits of keeping Ysgol Y Garreg open outweigh the higher costs associated with educating only two children.
