talks address MPs worries

Extracts
"The
MPs say they have been reassured that proper consultation will be
carried out before plans are finalised."

or secret plans. It still remains to be seen what finally comes out ..."

September with a reconstituted document, on which basis there will be
12 weeks of consultation."

Education
plan put on the table
06th July 2007
Extracts
Ged Rowney, Stoke-on-Trent's
new director of children's services appointed by Serco, today
tried to
allay parents' fears. He said: "No one should have more than two miles
to travel to a school in future."
It could also be a
toss-up between losing Haywood
High's site in Burslem, and losing Brownhills Maths and Computing
College, at Tunstall. They were previously earmarked for a merger.
Adrian
Williams, Serco's
project adviser for building schools for the future,
said: "Haywood is the smallest site in the north of the city and we're
concerned about that. It's big enough for 650 pupils, but is
overcrowded, with around 1,000 students."

in Burslem. |
Will
17 into 12 add up?
06th July 2007
Extracts
This is as good as Serco - the
private company
drafted in by the Government to run the city's children's services
department - telling the city it "must do better".
Consultation with all key stakeholders is
paramount. And that means listening, as well as talking, to teachers,
support staff, parents, governors and the children themselves.They all
deserve nothing less than a full hearing.
