Newton high is going to close anyway as there are not enough kids in it. Why should a school which contains more kids from other towns continue and kids from Newton have to go elsewhere to go to school? Also, part of the reason there are battles between aelreds and newton is the fact that they are seperate schools. Once they become one there will no longer be that rivarly.

so where would you suggest that these kids from the likes of burtonwood go? when st.aelreds is the closest catholic school to their town? The burtonwood school, for example, has given st.aelreds many exceptional pupils over the years. Why should newton high have to close? why dont they use the majority of this money to redevelop BOTH schools over time, suiting both aelreds and sellies needs.
Why should both sets of year 11s at the time move schools to a joint school and disrupt their education? larger classes means larger disruption! This is what this "academy" will lead to, more disruption! As it is kids in both schools get help in good sized classes.

The new academy will be a joint faith catholic-protestant school. Newton has to close because there are not enough pupils feeding in to it. Also, the classes will not be any larger, as it will be a bigger school with more staff.

Yes with 1300 places for pupils according to the initial ideas. The majority of pupils are against the ideas, these views DEFINATELY can not be ignored. On this years figures newton high had 607 pupils in the school whereas st aelreds had 913 pupis enrolled between yr 7 and 11. 1520 pupils in total, with 1300 places being proposed, this does not add up! and is clearly unfair on the other feeder pupils. The proposal is also for every pupil in both schools to be offered a place, how will this academy cope with 1500 pupils in the school? the money should be spent to redevelop the already standing schools! not to disrupt peoples learning

Source? Also, you cannot say that you should not suffern because newton doesn't get enough pupils. You have to look at the bigger picture. Newton will close, and that leaves a number of pupils without a school close. Aelreds is packed to seams and so building the academy will not only provide a school for those without one after newton goes, but also take the stress off aelreds. Two birds with one stone

Yes with 1300 places for pupils according to the initial ideas. The majority of pupils are against the ideas, these views DEFINATELY can not be ignored. On this years figures newton high had 607 pupils in the school whereas st aelreds had 913 pupis enrolled between yr 7 and 11. 1520 pupils in total, with 1300 places being proposed, this does not add up! and is clearly unfair on the other feeder pupils. The proposal is also for every pupil in both schools to be offered a place, how will this academy cope with 1500 pupils in the school? the money should be spent to redevelop the already standing schools! not to disrupt peoples learning

Source for those figures? Also, alot of those who feed into aelreds come from towns which have high schools closer by then aelrds. Even if they are catholic schools, I bet a number of pupils in them aren\'t catholic and so would go to any school. It would be pointless developing newton as it does not get the numbers to justify it remaning open. The protests from the pupils today was so large because it got them out of lessons. I would be suprised if even a tenth of the pupils who took part today know all of the facts and still oppose the merge.

Newton high is going to close anyway as there are not enough kids in it. Why should a school which contains more kids from other towns continue and kids from Newton have to go elsewhere to go to school? Also, part of the reason there are battles between aelreds and newton is the fact that they are seperate schools. Once they become one there will no longer be that rivarly.

so where would you suggest that these kids from the likes of burtonwood go? when st.aelreds is the closest catholic school to their town? The burtonwood school, for example, has given st.aelreds many exceptional pupils over the years. Why should newton high have to close? why dont they use the majority of this money to redevelop BOTH schools over time, suiting both aelreds and sellies needs. Why should both sets of year 11s at the time move schools to a joint school and disrupt their education? larger classes means larger disruption! This is what this \\\\\\\"academy\\\\\\\" will lead to, more disruption! As it is kids in both schools get help in good sized classes.

The new academy will be a joint faith catholic-protestant school. Newton has to close because there are not enough pupils feeding in to it. Also, the classes will not be any larger, as it will be a bigger school with more staff.
