Yes I know 2fe can't go on the current site allot of the opposition is the fact that the school would be 2fe and who knows in future 3fe etc. 1\2 fe will only happen if mobiles are removed and not replaced, this is not a certainty. So even if it did go to 1\2fe would tunstall be the only school like it? No it won't there are lots of 1\2fe and less than 1\2fe schools which have been going for years and will continue to do so.

Sorry that is incorrect, half fe is with the mobiles. There will still be the same number of classroms, just filled with half the amount of children.  The problem is not that a half fe school can't survive, it's that the resources on the current site simply aren't adequate, even at half intake it is not ideal to have the library/special tutoring/music lessons/only route through the school to be occupying the same space.  Half a dozen toilets for over 200 pupils is not enough (2 are outside).

So when a school is already earmarked as being unsuitable, as Tunstall has repeatedly, it will be first on the block to have it's provision repurposed and its pupils and staff placed elsewhere.
