📢 Big Debate in Pembrokeshire! 🌍
Plans to revamp Cilgerran Church in Wales School have stirred quite the pot as hundreds rise in opposition! 🎓✋ The local council recently pitched a transition from its Church in Wales status to a 3-11 community school, sparking debates and a petition rallying 391 signatures! 📝
Why the fuss? 🤔 Well, critics argue that this move is fundamentally flawed. The school boasts strong ties with the Church community, fostering a nurturing environment for its pupils. Parents and church supporters fear the change could sever these essential bonds and diminish educational quality. Reverend John Cecil and the school’s vice-chair, Gary Fieldhouse, have voiced strong concerns about issues like land ownership and potential future student growth. 📈 They believe that cutting church ties could alter the community spirit and essence of the school.
What’s the next step? 👣 Any petition with over 100 signatures must be debated by the council. The decision-makers are in the hot seat, and legal talks are ongoing to reach a fair and balanced decision. 🗣️
Stay tuned to see how this pivotal debate unfolds and what it means for the future of education in Pembrokeshire! 🤝
