Rallying call to save Royal British Legion clubs
- Today's leader
Llangedwyn Primary School action group launched
Tuesday 14th June 2011, 3:57PM BST.
An action group has been resurrected to lead the fight to save a primary school on the Shropshire/Mid Wales border from closure.
Parents, staff and supporters of Llangedwyn Primary School have re-formed a friends group after the school was named with 10 other primaries by Powys County Council chiefs on a list to see if it is still viable.
The group held its first meeting last week and members have now created a leaflet promoting the school’s qualities, which they plan to distribute.
They have also created a mailing list to send up to date information about the school’s situation to anyone concerned.
Headteacher Sarah Chandler said: “We have brought the friends group back together again and have had a fantastic meeting. It was the first formal meeting it has had for a while.
“We have designed a postcard with images of the school on it and on the back of it we have put 10 reasons to keep Llangedwyn open. It is full steam ahead.”
The 10 reasons include the school having a one to one ratio of computers to children, monthly sharing sessions with parents, a youth club, an after-school club and an adventure playground.
There are also plans to open the school for the community to take advantage of its wireless for internet connection.
