Keep the Middle Schools
I find myself in entire agreement with Craig Dearden Phillips when he wrote in his letter (BFP 17/4/09) about the problems over the policy to close the Middle School. The full extent of the resulting problems are still not being fully exposed to the public. I found it incredulous that County Councillors were forced to vote on this issue purely on the educational merit and without regard to the full impact, which will see young children in Suffolk having twenty miles bus journeys to get to school funded by the County Council but not costed in advance to enable a proper assessment of the impact. It will not be good for any child to have to make such journeys and be so far from home.
