🚨 Breaking News in Pembrokeshire! 🚨
A beloved village primary school is fighting for its future! Stepaside Primary School in Kilgetty, described by many as the “heart of the community,” faces closure as part of sweeping educational changes in the area.
Pembrokeshire Council’s latest meeting discussed plans for a major educational overhaul. This involves potentially closing Stepaside and other local schools to pave the way for new schooling structures, including a proposed 3-19 school. While some ideas gained support, local councillors urged for a delay on decisions affecting Stepaside, citing the need for fair community consultation—it’s a call for justice!
However, despite these calls, the motion for a delay was rejected. 💔 But hope isn’t lost! A passionate online petition led by Angela Robinson is rallying support to save Stepaside School. The petition argues that closure isn’t just a short-term financial issue—it impacts community cohesion, children’s wellbeing, and long-term public spending. Smaller, community-based schools like Stepaside often offer better outcomes, aligning closely with government priorities.
The clock is ticking, but the community is rallying to have their voices heard. Are you with them? The petition remains open until February 17. Show your support, and let’s work together to protect the essence of our village!
🙌 Stand with Stepaside. Sign the petition and let’s explore alternative solutions that benefit our future generations. Together, we can make a difference!
