Public Meeting - Our Community, Our Schools, 7-9pm, Tuesday 8 October, Vestry House Museum meeting room

Speakers: Zoe Williams, writer, journalist and Guardian columnist, Christine Blower, General Secretary, National Union of Teachers

Our Community, Our Schools is hosting a second public meeting in Waltham Forest on Tuesday 8th October and we’re proud to have two brilliant speakers: Guardian columnist Zoe Williams, and Christine Blower, the general secretary of the National Union of Teachers. This will be a great opportunity to discuss the issues thrown up by the attempt to open ‘Free’ Schools in Waltham Forest in their national context. We’ll be discussing the crisis in our education system, the threats to our community schools and the attack on democracy. It looks like being a really good evening, so make sure you’re there.
