St Leonard’s Catholic School, City of Durham

Motion Text

That this House notes, with great concern, that St Leonard’s Catholic School, in City of Durham, has been affected by reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete for 161 days preceding the tabling of this Early Day Motion; condemns the Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition government for scrapping the Building Schools for the Future programme in 2010; further notes that, despite the egregious disruption to their education, pupils at St Leonard’s have not been offered mitigating circumstances for their examinations this year; calls on the Government to bring forward legislation to allow for mitigating circumstances for the affected pupils of St. Leonard's; and pays tribute to the determination and resilience of parents, pupils and teachers of St Leonard’s in light of this clear injustice.
