I am sad
We fought to the last and all we've managed to achieve is to convince the
school adjudicator that this September was a stupidly short time frame to be
looking to close a school when the end of term is this Thursday SO they've
given us a whole extra term until the beginning of Jan 08 to find places for
all the kids that will be displaced by the closure,
Thats it fight over...we have no where left to go. We've taken our fight as
far as we can. I've lost count of how many consultations periods we've been
through and and council meetings called. Luckily I had the foresight to find
a school to provisionally book a place for Jordan should this happen and so
from September he will be attending there.
I don't think it is fair to leave him in Danesmore for the last term and
move him half way through a school year. He's been through 9 months of
uncertainty with which he has coped brilliantly and his school report (which
I received last Friday) showed just what an outstanding effort he made
passing all his SATS with flying colours and surpassing the standard
expected for children of his age(Proud parent alert I shall be blogging his results on my
BLOG, blog later). BUT it would be unfair to let it continue.
I am not the only parent with this train of thought and know of a few other
children from Jordan's class who will be moving with him.
So I''d just like to say a HUGE thank you to all of you that listened to me
rant signed our petition and/or sent messages of support all of which were
well received.
It's been hard going and I've now got 3 more days to get
through before the end of term, which I'm sure will bring many more tears
before they're over as I've got his final school play tomorrow morning and
and a leavers party Wednesday, I think I'm going to miss some of the kids as
much as the blonde kid will!!
