If we need a new school for 14+ then surely we need it for all kids of secondary school age, as what are 11-14 year olds supposed to do?

I also wish to add that for the control of our own children who often think they are in school until we receive a message that arrived late or were not even in school. All for the sake of children who are the future of the world.

Not starting till 14 would just make things even crazier.

A new secondary school is very needed.

]]> Tue, 22 Nov 2011 06:43:52 UTC 11713897 Mr David Tibbatts [Signature #56] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/11700722?utm_medium=rss The potential to create a school which can fulfil the aspiration of the generous commercial and accademic supporters of the technology based school whilst still providing academic excellence in the Arts and Humanities and providing places for the full 11-19 cohort currently exists. This opportunity is rare, we should not be selling it short; the children of East Reading are worth more than this. The current plan lacks ambition and over simplifies the educational needs of the area.

Lets welcome the news of the Government to supply the funding and push our Council to take the views of Reading residents to the doors of the DfE.

When that has been achieved a 11-19 University Technical School could be considered

And like many imposed decisions down history, will as a result ultimately founder. A legacy of failure yet again! Why can't we break the cycle of failing government?

It isn't even clear whether 'technical' includes 'science' to A level or whether it is seen only as a vocational, lower-level option - supplying the future technicians to work for the future scientists and engineers educated elsewhere!

Her only option if she doesn't gain a place at the grammar school will be to go to Bulmershe School, a comprehensive school in Woodley, which is part of Wokingham Borough, and which will require a three-mile bus journey each way. If the proposed 14-19 'technical school' instead became a 11-19 comprehensive school it would be less than a mile away, and would help to decrease the shortage in school places throughout Reading.

When that was ended we were left with the legacy of hosting Reading and Kendrick schools which have a wide catchment area but not having enough places for our own children. Since then with the Madejski academy and much effort in many schools, results have improved but we still face an acute shortage of places. Don't leave us with more half-measures.
