SKERTON HIGH SCHOOL

That this House notes that Lancashire County Council (LCC) is consulting on the closure of Skerton Community High School (SCHS); further notes that 52.9 per cent of pupils at the school have special educational needs; believes that this specialist support is not available at other local schools; further believes that SCHS is a centre of excellence that is vital to ensuring the community has a breadth of educational options; and calls on LCC to listen to residents and parents who are expressing these points in their consultation responses.
