Headteacher revealed for £13m Welshpool super school
The head of a town's new £13 million super school has been appointed.
Justine Baldwin, currently headteacher at Gungrog School in Welshpool, has been appointed as the new head of the town's English-Medium school.
Parents of pupils at the town's four junior schools received letters this week from the new governing body explaining that Mrs Baldwin would head-up the school, which will be built near Welshpool High School.
The four current primary schools in the town will be replaced by two new schools, one of each for English and Welsh streams.
The new English-Medium Church in Wales School will be built near Welshpool High School on the Salop Road fields while the new Welsh Medium Primary School will be created at the current Ysgol Maesydre site.
When pupils return to school following the summer holidays, Mrs Baldwin will take control of Maesydre and Oldford schools as well as Gungrog until the new development is completed by the start of the 2018-19 school year.
