FORUM MEETING 12TH OCTOBER.

85 people turned up to hear the debate on the proposal for a City Academy on the Shakespeare Road site.
The council is proposing a four form entry on about 2.5 acres.
The Cleanaway operation would continue to work alongside on the remaining 3 acres. The mood of the meeting was that this was not viable and Academy ought to be 6 form entry to maximise funding and to be able to offer an extensive curriculum. A sponor is interested in the project. The forum asked all parties to work co-operatively to get the best result.
Speaking on the subject Anthony Bottrall thanked us for the spirit of the debate. Tessa Jowell added her support to the campaign as did Sally Prentice the Opposition spokesperson on education.
( Anthony is the Executive member for Education.)
