Wakeman School campaign will appeal against closure

Campaigners hoping to save the Wakeman School have pledged to appeal against any decision to close it.

A meeting of Shropshire Council's cabinet on Wednesday will decide whether the secondary school in Abbey Foregate should shut in August 2013.

But Andy Rayment, chairman of governors at the Wakeman, said any decision this week would not end the campaign to prevent the school's closure.

"We would most definitely go to appeal," he said.

He said the governors believed they had identified a number of problems with how the consultation process had been carried out.
