We have a first rate school, but there are only 600 places. We argued that preston park was an ideal site to serve both Eaglescliffe and Ingleby.Thankfully that plan stimulated the debate we needed and we are getting a second school.<br />I agree that some schools are not maintained to a high standard, but this is the fault of the head teachers. Funds more than adequate were available in the last decade to maintain existing facilites. However some headteachers with one eye on the future decided not to apply for this funding. This was in the hope that if the school appeared to be falling down they would get a new one built.<br />Its time parents took control of the Governing bodies of schools to make sure that their children get the best out of what is available. bad planning by some heads has and is playing fast and loose with the childrens future.treeclimberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17385837041858252729noreply@blogger.com
