So we are currently being consulted by the lovely Caledonian Economics on the way forward for our schools. Continually we hear the words there are no schools being targeted we await the outcome of the survey. This is mainly an educational review not driven by finance we are being told.... :eek:
Folks are wary and indeed as you can see from the message board concerned at the severity and impact regarding the cuts being sought in Education.
If the views of the public are indeed being sought then I find it strange that in the latest papers due to be put in front of HC councillors at the next meeting a paper which clearly indicates a predicted saving in the year 2012/2013 of £1.332 million as a result of the schools Estate Review/Amalgamation programme.......... strange when the results of the OPEN AND ROBUST review have not even been finalised yet :roll:

(Thats after classrooom assistant cuts, management time cuts but before nursery teacher cuts !)
Nursery and Primary Education does seem to be taking a hammering.:~(
