The fight to keep 11-19 education on the Sneyd School Site is far from over reports Liberal Democrat councillor Ian Shires.
An action group set up to fight against closure has been set up and meets today to decide tactics. On Thursday 30th April there is a community meeting at Sneyd. Starting at 7pm the meeting will give parents, pupils staff and the community the opportunity to discuss how best to fight last week’s decision of Walsall Council’s cabinet to cease 11-19 education, replacing it with a 14-19 engineering college.
“There are many compelling reasons for retaining 11-19 education at Sneyd” said Ian “and I’m convinced that those acting behind the scenes such as Walsall Children’s Services Serco (WCSS) along with the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) and the Office of the Schools Commissioner (OSC) are not fully aware of all the aspects of future plans for Willenhall and how that makes the case for continuing 11-19 education at Sneyd” continued Ian.
Ian along with fellow ward councillors Val Woodruff and Pete Hughes will be doing all they can to ram this point home to WCSS, DCSF and OSC. “This fight can be won if we all pull together” concluded Ian.
