LANCASTERIAN SCHOOL IN WEST DIDSBURY

Motion Text

That this House is deeply concerned at the proposals from Manchester City Council to close the secondary provision at Lancasterian School in West Didsbury; believes that the special educational needs of its pupils are best served by their hardworking teachers and other staff members; believes that the needs of Lancasterian pupils are best met by retaining secondary provision within the school and promoting close links with the Manchester College at Fielden Park to extend their learning post-16; and calls on Manchester City Council to urgently reconsider these proposals.
