Day 132
30 September 2009
We went to the drop-in session at Swanage First School, this afternoon. The session was for the parents of the school, and the community, to come along and talk to Dorset County Council about the future provision of education in Swanage, both in the first schools, and with regards to secondary education.
The drop-in was one of several taking place in each of the first schools, and the session which will be taking place at Swanage Middle School on 5th October from 3pm - 6pm.
If you have an opinion on how things should be managed, please come along next week to the final drop-in session at Swanage Middle School. What we don't need is apathy, or a belief that it is pointless to put opinions to DCC. The last round of consultations bought about strong opposition to the proposal to close Swanage First School, which resulted in DCC agreeing to revisit Swanage to best decide on future provision.
It's quite interesting to talk to some of the councillors, and assess their ability to talk in a non-automaton manner. Go on, come along to Swanage Middle School next week - your town needs you!
A sign outside one of the classrooms, which seems very pertinent.
I saw this on the way home. I liked it, so I photographed it!
