Cabinet Report 28th May 2009
Cabinet Minute
Following the Council’s 2006 review of primary schools in the Bromborough and Eastham area, the Council’s preferred option for the Eastham area was to close St Mary’s CE Primary School in Eastham Village, and to change Millfields Primary School into a Church of England primary school.
Following the decision of the national School’s Adjudicator, St Mary’s CE Controlled Primary School was closed in August 2007. Since then, the Anglican Diocese of Chester, the governing body of Millfields Primary School, and the Local Authority, have been discussing the possibility of Millfields Primary School becoming a Church of England Controlled Primary School.
It is now time to hold a wider consultation with parents, staff, governors and any other people related to Millfields Primary School, in order to help decide
whether this change to Church of England Controlled status should go ahead. Your views are important to us. Please take this opportunity to have your say.
What do you think? Please make sure your response is received by Friday, 20th March 2009 .
You can write on your own, or you can join together with other people to write a joint letter. Your comments can be sent by post, by handing them in at your school or by e-mail. There is also a feedback form on the Consultation website.
