The 1515 finish is now a definate to start in September, but the school have said that there will be after school clubs of varying types available to those who want them.

Please note if more letters opposing this finish time had been sent to the school in the consultation period then perhaps this may not have been agreed, but only 22 letters (12%) were received so it looked like not masses of parents were against it.

All that said we were only given a 10 day time frame in the consultation period to do this, but it was said at this point prior to 23/06/14 it was not a done deal. The deal was done on letters received.

It was said that this petition did not add weight as some names listed on here are not parents - now I don't have a full list of all parents but this does also impact on grandparents and child carers/minders who may have signed, so I dispute that - but that's done and dusted.

It looks like Apathy won the day, but at least some of us put our point accross to the govenors both in writing and in person at the meeting , and I think that was a good thing, and a surprise to many on the governing body.

Please remember in future issues we have a voice and we must use it, but in a balanced constructive and unconfrontational way, so we are listened to and taken seriously - which we were last night at the meeting.

Thank you for your support re this issue I only wish we had been given more time to offer a more constructive and balanced argument.
