#179: Guest - re; undesirables

I need to make it clear that I have NEVER called these children undesirables - I love my job and I love working at Murston Junior School and I am very proud of working there, I first started teaching there in 1985. I now teach the children of the children I first taught.   All children bring with them a uniqueness that makes teaching the vocation and the joy that it is. The point that I am making is that there are peaks and troughs in the birth rate. The new school will not always be full and so it is important that you understand the implications of when there is a dip. We do a fantastic job with the children who come our way, not everyone appreciates the time and care we give.Ofsted rated us Good with Outstanding Features. When a new school opens in the Sittingbourne area it will be hugely popular because of all its new facilities. If the other schools are full, as County seems to imply is the case, then this new school will be the place that the children will be placed. You never know County might even place an English as an Additional Language Specialist Unit in said new build wherever it ends up. Focus on the main point, this site is not the correct site to build a new school for 420 children.
