P-06-1455 Protect the junior departments of the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama from closure

This petition was submitted by Rebecca Totterdell, having collected a total of 10,560 signatures.

Text of Petition:

The Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama has provided a junior music and acting programme to students aged from 4 to 18 for the past 25 years. The school currently sees around 300 talented young people through its doors each weekend, and many of those are on bursaries. It is the only such provision in Wales.

Due to financial difficulties the RWCMD is being forced to consult on closing the Young Acting and Young Music programmes at the end of this term..

Additional details:

If the closure goes ahead, the RWCMD will be the only Royal School of Music without a junior department.
