SOS - Save Our Schools!

With the media saying that only 3 schools will be closed in the school reorganisation proposals, Councillor Geoff Lumley makes his own opinion on these figures:

Looking at the overall plans there is massive spin associated with their publication. There are currently 67 schools on the IW, not including the two special schools. That is a figure easily researched. 46 are primary and there will be 38 after reorganisation. That’s 8 less. Plus 16 middle schools closing, makes 24 closures. A couple of new schools in the long distant future - at Pan and West Wight - makes a net figure of 22 school closures. It’s still carnage in my view.

He also goes into further depth about Downside school in Pan. You can read the full article on his blog.
