At the moment, pupils in Llantrisant go to Y Pant Comprehensive, but under plans being considered by Rhondda Cynon Taf Council, pupils from Llantrisant and Penygawsi primary schools would be moved to Bryncelynnog in the future.

Parents say they're not happy at the idea, due to the distances involved to get to the school.

A spokesman for RCT Council say they're in the process of a consultation, and will take all views on board.
