Holy Cross - Latest

There have been meetings this morning at Holy Cross, and it appears that there are onlt three days in which to change the minds on the Order, which appears to be committed to closing the school in August, regardless of the financial packages put forward by the school.

That's 22 acres of prime development site in the middle of the village that will no doubt soon be sold off by the Order, unless the actions of the school can show local and national support for it remaining a school rather than a building site.

You can email the Holy Cross to show your support on enquiries@holycrossconventschool.co.uk or email Cheryl Gillan via http://www.writetothem.com/.

As we only have three days would it be a good idea to go down there in person and voice our opinion on this, it needs acting on now, if anyone thinks it would be a good idea to have a number of villagers voicing there support for the school and go down there all together as a group.

It sounds to me as they want to sell this land end of story !

Why do you think the pupils are happy? My understanding from a parent today is that there are not enough places available at alternative schools and therefore some girls are going to be left with no school place whatsoever, anywhere!
