Councillors launch 'Culverhay CoEd' campaign
July 25, 2007 12:00 PM
Local Liberal Democrat Councillors in Twerton, Southdown and Odd Down have launched a campaign to make Culverhay a co-educational school.
Cllr Gerry Curran (Lib Dem, Twerton), who is also Chair of Governors at the school, said:
"We fully support the parents, staff and governors of Culverhay in their wish to make the school co-educational. This needs to be a community school serving all the young people of our area."
Cllr Dine Romero (Lib Dem, Southdown) added:
"Parents who have both girls and boys want to be able to send their children to the same school. They want a good local school that serves all their needs. Culverhay will make a first class community school for boys and girls. The Local Education Authority will be considering the future of secondary schools across the area in the Autumn. We are sending a clear
message that as part of the consideration we want Culverhay as a Co-ed."
The councillors have created an online petition for supporters of the campaign to sign. The petition can be found at www.ourcampaign.org.uk/culverhaycoed
Residents are also being encouraged to download printable versions of the petition and collect signatures from others who might wish to support making Culverhay School co-educational.
