TELSCOMBE CLIFFS AND PEACEHAVEN HEIGHTS ACADEMISATION

Motion Text

That this House notes with concern the proposed academisation of the Telscombe Cliffs and Peacehaven Heights primary schools in the Brighton, Kemptown constituency; further notes the efforts of the local community to prevent academisation; applauds the efforts and dedication of the GMB and NEU trades unions in supporting the local community; calls upon the local council to resist calls to academise the primary schools and to intervene to prevent this from happening; and recognises and supports the views of the local community that council-run schools provide greater accountability and have deeper links to the community.
