PROTECT TUNSTALL COMMUNITY

It is important to the life of villages that the local schools are for the local children, that said in today's economic climate economies of scale clearly have to play a part and therefore by increasing the number pupils will, even if marginally, reduce the cost per head.
In the case of the Tunstall school there is the opportunity to merge with the Borden Village School, also owned by the CoE and apparently struggling with high property, heating & maintenance costs,at a location somewhere midway between the two villages,which might well have better access options than the proposed new location for the Tunstall school.
Making the correct decision, taking possible future expansion needs into account,is a very important one as it will have to meet those needs for many decades to come.
