Walthamstow Guardian covers our campaign and meeting

Today's Walthamstow Guardian featured an article on page 2 covering our campaign and giving a pretty good summary of some of the key issues. One of the contributions to the letters page also expresses support for our campaign. You can read the full article, including a plug for our public meeting by reporter Daniel Binns here.

The article also confirms what we'd already heard, that Oasis and WSSI have indeed got their preapproval from the DFE. This means they have a period of around three months to conduct a public consultation. The timing of our public meeting probably couldn't be better as a way of beginning a wide debate in the borough.

Don't miss this meeting, which will feature speakers from Defend Waltham Forest State Schools, a governor at Thomas Gamuel school, currently being forced to convert to academy status, and local parents and teachers.

Friday 1 March - 8pm,

Welcome Centre - Off Church Hill, or Church Lane

Walthamstow Village, E17 9RJ
