Redirect to district (jarbarf) (talk) 21:27, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to the article on Llanelli where the school is located. The Llanelli article already has a section on Education. This is a Welsh school. There is no 'district' article. It makes no sense to direct the school to Carmarthenshire County Council as no one would expect to find information about a school on that page. Dahliarose (talk) 12:56, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per Dahliarose. Some explanation is necessary. "School districts" exist in the USA and in other countries, but England and Wales education since 1904 has been a local government responsibility. Although it is quite common to hear reference to the "Local Education Authority", in practice this is identical to the local authority. In large authorities such as the Welsh unitary authorities (and Carmarthenshire is one of the larger), there are a vast number of schools and it would unbalance the article on the authority to include local authority schools in them. In line with the "Greenwich judgment", local authority schools cannot give any preference to pupils actually living locally. It therefore makes more sense to describe schools which do not merit their own article in the article about the town or community in which they are located.
