Cllr Malcolm Pate has recommended that the Cabinet which
are meeting on November 19th 2008 should decide to vote against
the closure of Lydbury North School and the expansion of Clunbury and
instead is allowing the Governors and staff at both schools to look into
being a FEDERATED school.
This means that Lydbury North will keep its school !!!

to the Lydbury North / Clunbury Amalgamation Document
February 26th
At the County Council Scrutiny meeting last week which 'called
in' the Cabinet decision to go ahead with the amalgamation of
Lydbury & Clunbury schools I proposed that the amalgamations of
both Lydbury & Clunbury & Oaklands & Longmeadow in Shrewsbury
were removed from the list of 16 schools. This was on the basis
that a number of schools in the list of 16 actually did wish to
consult on amalgamations but clearly neither Lydbury or Oaklands
wanted this to proceed. - Unfortunately my proposal was voted
down by the panel 7 votes to 4. - (interestingly both the C of E
and Roman Catholic representatives and the secondary schools rep
voted with the Conservatives to defeat my proposal) - I was
surprised at the C of E reps stance given the support the church
has given to Lydbury, but he was a stand in rep who may not have
had a full grasp of the background!
Following this, the
full council voted last Friday to set up an independently
chaired commission to examine the policy again, although this
does not seem to be likely to report until 2009 and will not
therefore be of any help to save Lydbury and the other schools
still threatened with amalgamation/closure, since this will
still roll forward based on the existing policy put in place on
the 14th December.

Ofsted Inspection. February 7th 2008,
The school was very pleased to be given a
GOOD report, especially with the
recent change of staff and governors. The pupils behaviour was
classed as "excellent" |
February 20th, Shirehall
The scrutiny panel voted in favour of proceeding to consultation for
those schools proposed for amalgamation. |
