Halibut   12 #5 Posted July 22, 2008 Surely someone can answer my question? If it's an issue that's capable of arousing such strong feelings there must be someone who can deal with a straightforward query? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Airport Cars   10 #8 Posted July 22, 2008 So what's all the fuss about then?  The fact that they are closing down a very good school (Wisewood) with no apparent reason?  The fact that this new 'super school' will NOT have enough places for all the pupils in it's catchment area?  The fact that hundreds of children will have 2 miles or more EACHWAY to travel to school?  I could go on but I'm sure others will continue to enlighten you....

Harryarwen   10 #10 Posted July 22, 2008 well there nothing to be worried about, its 21million quid school, Id love to have gone to such a place. in stead of the dump in wisewood   You and me both spooferman! Bradfield get a new build on their site, Myers, regardless of the merger or not get a new build on their site, and Wisewood just refurbished? - have people been on this small and antiquated site? It's already a "split site" school technically, as the kids have to walk a 1/4 mile or so to the playing fields! An obsolete building despite it's superior teaching, leadership and achievement. Our kids can have the best of both worlds in a new build on the Wood Lane site - and with the breadth of curriculum that will go with it - the best of both worlds. I would just hate to think of my kids in delapidated facilities between 2 new up to date and modern facilities in Bradfield and at Myers. My kids certainly deserve better and I will be sending them to the new school in 2011, with no worries at all - modern facilities, modern and wide expansive curriculum, a 2 mile walk there every day (saves sitting behind the Xbox and gets a reason for some serious physical activity). Thumbs up to the new school! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
