A sustainable schools network for Shropshire – briefing note

Since the autumn of 2013 the Shropshire Schools Forum Sustainability Task & Finish Group has been considering how to ensure a sustainable schools network in Shropshire and provide high quality education for all Shropshire children.

Made up of primary, secondary and special school headteachers, school governors, councillors and local authority officers, the group has engaged in informed debate, based on the best available information, experience and knowledge.

In the spring of 2014, Shropshire Council’s ruling administration formed their own Task & Finish Group to provide advice and support to the schools group.

We are now in a position where we can share the findings and views of both Task & Finish groups about the situation in which we find ourselves, and what we feel needs to be done.

These are captured in a briefing note, which has been issued on behalf of both groups who, we’re pleased to say, are in complete agreement.
