Consultation November 2008
The statutory consultation runs from 10 November - 17 December 2008.
You may remember that a little while ago we consulted about proposals for developing the Roman Catholic High Schools across the city. Although there are some limitations on what is possible within the Building Schools for the Future (BSF) programme, we have listened to what people said to us and the City Council Cabinet now want to seek your views on some alternative proposals. These are:
- To rebuild St Patrick’s Roman Catholic High School on its existing site, at its existing size from September 2012.
- To enlarge St Ambrose Barlow Roman Catholic High School from 750 to 1050 pupils, by creating a new building on the former Wardley High School site from September 2012. Also to change the school’s upper age limit to 18 and add a 250 place sixth form by September 2011, before the main new building opens.
- To rebuild All Hallows Roman Catholic High School on part of the site currently occupied by Oasis Academy (ex Hope High School), at its existing size from September 2012.
- To close St George’s Roman Catholic High School from September 2012.
If you are a parent/carer from either St Ambrose Barlow RC high School or St George's RC High School or their associated primary schools and would like to hear more about the proposals and make your views known, you can come to a parent/carer consultation event at the schools. The details will be sent to you in a letter.
Parents/carers of All Hallows RC High School and St Patrick’s RC High School pupils are also being sent details of how they can give their views in writing or by attending the community drop-in event detailed below.
We are also holding a community drop-in consultation event on Wednesday 26 November, 5.00pm - 7.30pm at Fletcher Hall, Vicarage Road, Swinton, M27 OWA. This event is for all other interested parties. At this event we would be happy to explain the proposals to individuals or small groups and listen to any questions or concerns you have. Officers will also ensure that any issues raised will be documented. Again, please contact Paula Flynn on 0161 778 0447 during the above working hours by Friday 21 November to book a 15 minute appointment that is convenient for you.
