Elections for the new school council were held at the beginning of this term. They are pictured here with Miss Edwards at a recent meeting. If you have any questions or comments please post them below.
We heard this week that Barrow is on the list of schools to be reviewed by the Local Authority, Shropshire County Council, for possible closure under their newly-approved “Primary Schools for the Future” policy. If selected for closure the school will cease to exist at the end of the summer term 2009. This would bring an end to 390 years of education in the Parish of Barrow. See British History Online
The staff are feeling ’shell-shocked’ especially as the effect of the official line from the authority was that we (along with our parents and pupils) should hear the news from the local media first.
The governors of the school together with the parent body are preparing to fight any possible closure threat.
The campaign to save our school and all of the others schools affected by this would welcome your comments of support.
