On Thursday the City Council held the second of its secondary school public meetings. This was held at Oaklands School in the Coxford Ward.
This meeting was far less vociferous than the Millbrook School meeting, although parents are clearly still very anxious and upset over the Lib Dems' plans and the way the surplus school place review has been handled so far.
A number of issues were raised. There were concerns that the school would potentially lose its specialism, or have to reapply for it, if it were to merge with Millbrook.
One suggestion was to move the two schools on to the Ordnance Survey site. This would give both schools a fresh start and neither set pupils would feel like outsiders. The suggestion had mixed response from Council officials; however it is not practical at this stage as the land technically is not up for sale.
Incidently none of the 3 Lib Dem Councillors for Coxford Ward bothered to turn up to listen to parents.
