Steve Cowley says parents cannot plan their children's education and schools are blighted by conflicting messages coming out of the Isle of Wight council.
A record £65,000 was raised last year for essential church repairs, renovation and restoration across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. Details of this year's event within.
The event is in aid of a new Pop-Up Café in the church which it is hoped will encourage those passing, or visiting, to make use of the church’s offer of hospitality and friendship.
Steve Cowley believes the Isle of Wight council's plan to close Yarmouth school is disruptive and possibly 'financially irresponsible'. Over 90% of Shalfleet and Yarmouth parents oppose the plans.
Cllr Brading said, “Given only seven children attending Yarmouth actually live in the town and 69 live in Freshwater and Totland, it makes logical sense to propose the move to relocate Yarmouth CE Primary onto the All Saints’ site."
Central and West Wight Labour Party say the Isle of Wight council should wait for the Island Plan to be implemented before closing any schools and disrupting staff and pupils.
A group of well-informed parents are preparing a challenge to the Isle of Wight Council’s current proposal to close Yarmouth CE Primary School. Governors have invited parents to a meeting tonight (Wednesday).
The Diocese say they understand the opposition from parents and acknowledge the need to address surplus school places, but are concerned at the rapid timescales involved in taking these significant decisions.
