Regents Park School Meeting

I had a very enjoyable meeting with the head teacher and chair of governors of Regents Park School yesterday.

Cllr Brian Parnell and Cllr Terry Matthews (Shirley Ward) came along too and we talked about the changes that are being proposed for secondary education in Southampton.

We discussed the issue of single sex education and also continuing to provide the choice of a single sex school within the city.

We discussed what is now being called the forth option. This is the building of a new all-through school on the site of the Civil Service Sports Ground. I recently wrote to residents around the ground with details of the proposal and the letter has been sent on to parents of children at Regents Park. It appears that there is a fair amount of support for the idea amongst parents and the teacher staff.
