“I have read your blog with interest. I agree that rural schools are vital for rural communities, however I also believe that urban schools can be just as important to their communities.
Our local primary school, Greenmount Community Primary School, has been earmarked for closure under all three options of the council’s reorganisation of education despite it being a vibrant and popular school. It was one of few on the island that have been oversubscribed in the past few years.

It seems that too many people from the Government Minister down are blaming everyone else, and no attempts to find ways to compromise or create new opportunities from the situation are being reported.

NOTE: the Samba Protest in Ryde this Saturday has been changed from the afternoon to 11am so that it will not clash with the rally in Shanklin at 2.30pm.
