R (RhAG) v. Neath Port Talbot CBC [2022] EWHC 2674 (Admin)

The Administrative Court, sitting in Cardiff, has quashed Neath Port Talbot Council’s plan to open a new English-medium “super-school” in the Swansea Valley due to a failure to assess the impact of the plan on the Welsh-medium schools in the area. The judgment follows a claim for judicial review brought by Rhieni Dros Addysg Gymraeg (Parents for Welsh-Medium Education) (“RhAG”), a charitable body that has worked to protect and promote Welsh-medium education across Wales for the last 70 years. Gwion Lewis KC acted for RhAG throughout the proceedings. The judgement is available here.
