Annette Brooke MP challenges Education Minister on dire situation at Lytchett Minster School
November 24, 2005 12:00 PM
TODAY, in Oral Questions to the Secretary of State for Education and Skills, Annette Brooke will ask: How many temporary mobile classrooms are in use for mainstream lessons in schools under the control of Dorset Local Education Authority?
Mrs. Brooke will continue to press the Minister:
Is the Minister aware that 35 of these classrooms are on the site of Lytchett Minster upper school representing 52 per cent of the classrooms which have been there since a serious fire at the school five and a half years ago?
To date the Conservative controlled County Council has not even submitted a planning application meanwhile replacement costs escalate.
Will the minister investigate what can be done to break though this impasse to ensure that continuing high standards are achieved at the school?
Mrs. Brooke has been liaising with the school, the Department of Education and Skills, and Dorset County Council for some years now, in an attempt to reach a solution regarding the rebuilding process - but so far little progress has been made.
