At its meeting on 11 February 2025, Cyngor Gwynedd's Cabinet resolved to allow the Education Department to hold formal discussions with the Governing Body and other relevant stakeholders of Ysgol Baladeulyn, to enable a range of possible options relating to the future of the school to be drawn up, following concerns about pupil numbers at the school.
