Governors at a tiny Shropshire school that had been threatened with closure have admitted they should have communicated plans "more effectively".The governors of Newcastle CE Primary School acknowledged that they"needed to have communicated more effectively with parents and the wider community" before launching a consultation on moving children out to other schools.
A new joint committee has been formed with the task of bringing more pupils into the school from September. Falling pupil numbers had been cited as a reason for moving children at the school in Newcastle upon Clun to others run by the Blue Hills Federation. The joint statement issued by Di Cosgrove, the federation's acting chair of governors, and parent representative Barry Swancott said that the governors of Newcastle CE Primary School convened a public meeting with parents and the village community on March 20 to explore ideas on how to secure the school for the future.
"The governing body’s overriding focus has been, and remains, to sustain and enhance the exceptional education the pupils at Newcastle CE Primary School currently enjoy." It added:"The governors acknowledge that they needed to have communicated more effectively with parents and the wider community prior to launching the consultation process.The statement said:"All parties are now fully engaged and a new stakeholder committee, consisting of governors, staff, parents and the community, has been formed to facilitate better communication and exchange of ideas intended to increase the number of pupils.
