Sir Edward Garnier, MP for Harborough, Oadby and Wigston, wrote to the Department for Education regarding the consultation which is ongoing in Oadby about the future of the school structure. He has received the attached response from the Rt Hon David Laws MP, Minister of State for Schools.
Upon receiving the letter, Sir Edward commented: “The letter contains assurances from the minister that the effectiveness of the consultations will be considered by the Regional Schools Commissioner before a decision is made so I urge parents and interested groups to contribute to the consultations in these final few hours. I understand Gartree High School’s consultation ends today and Manor High School and the Beauchamp College’s consultations end on 1 March so whoever has not responded to the consultation yet, and holds a view, should do so immediately.”
