The Conservative run Council has now made a final decision to close Culverhay School, although this will be subject to a “call-in”  when Lib Dem Councillors will attempt to delay the process.

There is a meeting next Tuesday, 1st March at 7pm at the school to see if there is support for a co-educational Free School to open at the site. A Free School is funded directly by central government and would be free of Council control.

A free school is unlikely to go ahead unless there is strong public support for the plan, so please attend the meeting on Tuesday and show your support for the new school.
