14 Surely there should be discussions with the Parish Council?

15 Are levels of education expected to improve as a result of this option?

16 Is this the school's first or second OFSTED inspection?

17 The Governing Body should reject the report.

18 Will the whole Governing Body be present at the meeting on the 24th?

19 Should NT's presentation be given to the people of Ryton?

20 What format is the meeting on the 24th going to follow?

21 At what point do the Governing Body put forward a proposal?

22 How do the teachers reach a decision if they do not attend consultation meetings?

23 Local transport issues should be considered?

24 Why does the Governing Body feel it is necessary to consider closing the annexe

so quickly. If it was a long term aim, it would satisfy the OFSTED

recommendations?

25 They have only come up with one option. If they keep Bubbenhall open they

can still address Key Issue 1 by saying they looked into closure, and decided to

keep it as it is.

26 Why are single age classes a key issue - the document notes that there is no

evidence that they are beneficial.

results at Bubbenhall fallen since the school became an annexe?

28 Could we ask for a second OFSTED inspection, and could that be used as a

34 Would the school be worse off if all 22 children went elsewhere?

35 Should we be warning Ryton people about what the school is proposing for their

children?

36 Have the school's resources been put into adding the new years into the school,

instead of being spread evenly throughout the school?

37 Can we have a vote of "no confidence" in the Governing Body?

38 Closing the annexe appears to be the main option; were no other options

discussed?

Using the annexe for all four year olds was discussed, but it was not considered

to be a viable option.

39 There have been rumours circulated about a new building that would be cheaper

to run and more cost effective, and attract more people to the school. How

viable is this?

This might impose more problems ie. ownership issues, planning permission etc.

40 Putting the new building forward as an alternative would mean a decision could

not be made by the end of March.

41 Why have they not tried to address the problems as the school stands at the

moment, without closing the annexe?

42 Are you sending flyers around the village to remind people to attend the meeting?

43 Are you going to bring the issue to the public press - it would be a good idea?

44 Can we put up signs to say "save our school"?

45 At the open meeting, we should say that we want to present our argument to

Ryton and the Governing Body.

46 If the Ryton people got their act together, they could go to the meeting and say

close the annexe.
