Council plans to close Croxteth Comprehensive

On 12th June I attended a meeting at Croxteth School for parents and pupils where the school's Head, Richard Baker, outlined the Council's plans for reorganising local secondary schools. There was a very strong feeling amongst the 250 or so people who came in favour of keeping the school open.

I will be working with local Labour councillor Rose Bailey on this. The Liverpool Select Committee on Education & Skills will be scrutinising the Council's plans. I have been in contact with the Committee's Chair, Jane Corbett, to press for the voices of Croxteth School to be heard during the committee's enquiry. I have visited the school several times now and have been impressed both by the teaching & learning there and by its close links with the local community.

The school has a vision for becoming a campus to educate people of all ages and I urge Liverpool City Council to consider this option as an alternative to closing the school.
