Posting this on behalf the PTA of one of the feeder schools, Milton Road Primary School.
Open Public Meeting about the Future Plans for Chesterton on 24 January 2017 at Milton Road Primary School from 19:30 till 21:00
Dear parents and carers:
In 2013, Chesterton Community College was invited to expand the school with a £10M capital investment. This was due to the fact that demographic figures clearly showed that by 2019, there will be a critical shortfall of secondary school places for local children.
For no apparent reason, the project has been delayed by the council. It is A FACT that by 2019, when all secondary school places are allocated, there will still be over 80 children in this area who will NOT have a secondary school place within their catchment.
What does this mean for you?
If your child is currently in year 4 or below, this will have a direct impact on your parental choice of secondary education for your child. Even if you live in catchment or indeed your child has a sibling attending your local school at that time, this WILL AFFECT YOU!
Complacency won’t help - if you want to have a say in your child’s future education, come to the :
Open Public Meeting about the Future Plans for Chesterton
on 24 January 2017 at Milton Road Primary School from 19:30 till 21:00
Key decision makers from the council will be attending the meeting, sharing their views, and answering questions. Councillors Jocelynne Scutt, Lucy Nethsingha, Ian Manning, Zoe Moghadas are confirmed to attend.
They need to see that a significant number of parents are concerned. A poor turnout may well indicate a lack of concern - we must act now!
