Schools Minister Jim Knight MP Answers Viewers Questions About Isle of Wight School Closures

Wendy has kindly sent in this link which shows the full footage of Jim Knight answering Q’s from Isle of Wight residents on the Politics show, 18 Feb (only one question was shown on the actual TV show I think, but the rest is shown here).

Big emphasis on presumption against rural closures, and imaginative ways to manage surpluses without closing schools.

Q & A’s are still just as relevant, of course, as we still don’t know the extent of primary closures.
