Crickhowell Sixth Form under threat

Posted: 14th July 2025

The future of Crickhowell High School Sixth Form remains uncertain – and now is the time for our community to speak up.

Following the recent public meeting at the Hall, it’s clear that closure is still being considered as part of wider reforms to post-16 education in Powys. The loss of our Sixth Form would have a significant impact not only on students and families, but on the wider life and identity of the town.

Crickhowell Town Council is urging residents to take action, and has made it simple for you to do so. A template letter and contact details for Powys councillors are available online, so you can make your views known quickly and easily.

Sign the online petition here or in person at Crickhowell Volunteer Bureau which is located in the Atrium of the Hall:

Whether you are a parent, past pupil, local resident or simply someone who values access to high-quality education close to home, your support matters.

The more voices we raise, the stronger the message we send: Crickhowell needs its Sixth Form.
