There was a large turnout for Rachel’s meeting about the school strikes at The Coleshill School and Curdworth Primary School. There was understandable anger and disbelief at the bad financial management that has led to the current action, which is now impacting local children, including those facing GCSE and A-level exams.
Rachel told the packed meeting that she was listening to people’s concerns and taking them straight to ministers, and would write to The Arthur Terry Learning Partnership, The Department for Education, and The Coleshill School with a number of questions and actions from the meeting.
After the meeting Rachel said “No child should be left behind and have their future aspirations jeopardised because of bad financial management. I have demanded an investigation into the financial management of the trust and I am doing whatever I can to support those affected.”
Then then wished all students taking exams this year, under difficult circumstances, the best of luck.
