Petitions
Notice of Petition
Received from Kelly Bundy, 123 signatures
Scott-Broadwood C of E Infant School situated on The Green in Ockley, sadly faces closure if support isn’t found quickly. The village school has served the local communities of Ockley, Capel, Forest Green, Walliswood, Okewood Hill and Coldharbour since 1841. Scott-Broadwood has consistently provided a high standard of education, boasting small class sizes that guarantee each child is supported in their learning journey in this beautiful rural setting. Every parent, grandparent and neighbour with a child in this area now and for future generations has the right to continue an education full of inspiration and strong Christian values and this school is one of the best with caring, supportive teachers.
A response will be tabled at the meeting.
Decision: That the response, attached as Appendix 1, be approved. |
