Whitchurch High School governors
are keen to provide through their website, details on School
Organisation Proposals. We are conscious that both parents and
friends may also want to look at the Council’s website on this
matter, which also gives details as to what is happening and
proposed across Cardiff.
The latest proposals
passed by the Council’s Executive Committee on Thursday 2nd
July 2009 to reduce the size of Whitchurch High School from a
twelve form to nine form entry school are unacceptable to the
governors. There will be a period of formal consultation in
September to October 2009. The specific dates of this consultation
period are unknown.
Whitchurch governors
are totally opposed to the proposals, which would prevent 600 pupils
being able to attend Whitchurch High School and see 25 to 30 staff
made redundant. A proposed reduced sized Whitchurch High School
from a 12 to 9 form entry would reduce the school from 2,300 to
1,700 pupils. This would affect the breadth and quality of
curriculum and extra curricular provision at the school, and may
impact upon Post 16 education such as the viability of the
International Baccalaureate. Furthermore the proposals do nothing
to tackle the 8,000 surplus places across the County, as there are
no surplus places at Whitchurch High School.
Please click on the links below
which will also allow you to download from the Council’s web site
specific documents on the School Organisation Plan. In order to
avoid duplication we will only put documents on our website, which
we feel are significantly relevant to Whitchurch. |
