What is the aim of the campaign? We are seeking to quash the planning permission granted by Vale of Glamorgan Council which allows complete demolition of the school buildings. Nothing will remain...
Why is the school important? The former Intermediate School for Girls in Cowbridge was built in 1896 and designed by prominent Welsh architect Robert Williams. It was the first throughout Wales (and England) built specifically for the secondary education of girls. It also had purpose built science laboratories pioneering the way for women in STEM. Find out more here.
The school stands as an attractive reminder of a pivotal moment in Welsh history. We are seeking a Judicial Review of the planning decision so that the buildings can instead be converted and our heritage preserved.
How will funds be used? All monies raised will go directly towards legal fees. We are being represented by Susan Ring and Jack Robirosa of Harrison Grant Ring London who have instructed expert counsel Richard Harwood OBE KC of 39 Essex Chambers, London.
Thank you for your support!

Meanwhile we need to keep fundraising to reach our target of £10,000 by the end of the month to give us the confidence that we will be able to meet ongoing legal costs for a substantive hearing. Thank you for the support so far and please keep spreading the word so that we can continue the fight!
