Save St. Francesca Cabrini Primary School

[Waseley]

There is a separate thread where it appears that most in the area don't seem concerned. It would be good to hear your views on why the school is needed.

Would it be right to say the school may close because fewer parents are sending their children there and the per pupil council money from a one form entry school does not give the nuns enough to live on. Is it the school sponsoring the nuns or the reverse?

I think the roll is dropping (vaguely recall something about 16 reception applicants for September), which makes viability more difficult as grant funding drops accordingly. Not sure whether the nuns teach or how much they are paid - it looks as though there is no "rental " charge for the building.

Dashboard at https://schools-financial-benchmarking.service.gov.uk/School?urn=100851&tab=Income&unit=AbsoluteMoney&format=Charts#dashboard (not sure if this will link to the school itself but you can always search for it). Quite interesting to compare schools and see their current financial position etc.
