I completely agree with Derek and ShaleneV. Why is this being seen as a "bitter battle"? From some of the rather petty comments on here there seems to be political point scoring going on by some parties when the real focus should be on the very positive news that it sounds as if at least 2 bids will be submitted and that the community should win either way if a high quality new school opens. At the end of the day isn't that what parents, young people and the community want?

Of course, but can you really not see why James and the rest of the steering group might be feeling a bit hacked off having given God knows how many hours to considering applications, only for the second placed lot to just decide that they're going to ignore that outcome altogether and basically rubbish it.


I do agree though that it would be useful to know what criteria was used by the steering group to make their decision.

I went to the Charter (when it was William Penn)and left in 1990. Great school when I was there (bias) but all went pretty wrong soon after.


Oldest neice left Askes last year and thorougly enjoyed herself. Great support from the teachers when needed and did extremely well in her GCSE's. Second neice hoping to go next year but may opt for Prendergast instead.

    • Reading this sort of stuff - it's tiring. It's a weird focus on marginal English politics instead of the mainstream and instead of UK politics. How do you use 4 ex-Labour MPs getting elected an example of a supposed trend but ignore the election of 411 Labour MPs in the same election? How do you waffle on for several hundred words about the prospects of new left parties without mentioning what's been happening in this area for the last 20 years in Scotland and Wales?
    • This new movement seems great.  great ideas. But they’re just an opposition party they’re like a subsection of the Labour Party - so perfectly suited to Corbyn - his inspirational rhetoric can only be uttered in opposition.  Power would not suit him - that would require hard decisions that’s not his style, strength or skill

    • Nadia designed me the most beautiful garden taking into account my preferences but also guiding me expertly through the possibilities given I am not particularly knowledgeable about plants/ gardens - she also sourced very competent hard landscaping specialists and the result is a beautiful space which brings me a lot of joy - thank you Nadia!
