I haven’t posted for months, I’ve have so much really cool stuff that I could blog about too…ghost hunts and gigs, visits to London, visits both to and from friends. Christmas shopping, idiots, new managers and stories form work HOWEVER included in my usual frantic lifestyle of working parenting and partying SOME idiot in the powers that be decided it was a good idea to propose the closure of the blonde kid\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s school!! Allegedly, due to falling roll in the area where I live.<\/p>\n

Understandable this has dominated so much of my time blogging was just a distant thought and slipped into the usual routine of work and home came committee meetings, LEA investigations, OFSTED reports, arguments with council officials, arguments with parents, splashed with a liberal dose of despondency, remorse and in fighting but above all else camaraderie and the good old British fighting spirit!!<\/p>\n

The saying “United we stand, divided we fall” as never been spoken with so much passion…well maybe it has but at the moment its the philosophy of all the staff and parents and you try convincing us anyone has ever fought harder for something they want and you’d be hard pressed to find someone who believes you!!<\/p>\n

The injustice of it all is that the report they based their findings on, and so putting forward the proposal to close is so full of inaccuracies and bias that if they had looked at the true figures I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m sure a different conclusion would have been drawn. Although I suppose it doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t help matters that it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a Labour Government who have published the proposal and Labour councillors sit on the boards of governors at two of the four school on our estate and a member of the committee who actually drew up the proposal is married to the head of the school which is SERIOUSLY under performing (and the figures are in the public domain that prove it),,, and Danesmore isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t on of them!<\/p>\n

So now the fight is one to get the powers that be to listen to us and review their own inaccuracy, that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s if we can find a councilor who will admit they are wrong, a long shot I know but a one we are pursuing mercilessly!!<\/p>\n

In the mean time I am doing all I can to help the fight, running the school website with the help of JAmes, HERE<\/span><\/a>, administrating the school forum HERE<\/a>, attending rallies and definitely biting off more than I can chew by offering to sit in the schools PTA and generally help out in any way that I can EEEK, talk about the blind leading the blind\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6Wish me luck!!!<\/p>\n
