What is S.O.C.K about.....

So - what's it all about - well - there are 2 schools in the area, one boys school Temple, and one Girls school - Chapter.

The girls school has been enjoying year on year success, the boys haven't faired so well, and although there are signs of improvement the Council have decided that some action is required.

The proposal is to close BOTH schools, build an academy on the site of the Chapter School and effectively start again with building a new school with new management and leadership and from the ground up.

We think that the planning of the transition to an academy is the key, and that the academy will have a much better chance of success if it starts from an established base. We want to see the ethos of Chapter school remain and we want to see details of how the school will be managed and structured and we want to minimise any impact on the children.

That's what S.O.C.K. is about - we are trying to help the decision makers do the right thing for the right reason and end up with a school like Chapter that has the support of the local community, the staff, the parents, and most of all - THE CHILDREN.
