St. David's has not been saved
|
|
Handing over the grounds and buildings to another school whilst ejecting the current pupils is hardly "saving St. David's". No senior school girl will go to St. Jame's Olympia, not only due to the unreasonable distance to travel (if is was too far for thewir girls to come to Ashford, how can it be possible for our girls to make the same journey in reverse?) but because they have read the school prospectus and the information about the School For Economic Science. - The decision the governors have made is not the 'best' solution since it effectively throws most of our girls out of the school and gives alternatives that are either too far away to be useful or and/or a different faith
- The statement about the matching ethos is clearly incorrect if you read the school prospectuses and the aims and ethos of the School of Economic Science to which all the governors belong
- Is there a commitment that the prep and juniors will continue on the site no matter how many children are left?

I think all St. David's parents, pupils, teachers and governors
should read the articles at these links:Please read the articles, perform your own research, come to your own conclusions. Unlike some,
FoSD does not seek to impose control over all aspects of your being.But in my opinion, St. James School and the so called "School of Economic Science"
which is behind it are clearly not suitable "partners" for St. David's school.

Please see the school website - the governors have rejected IES's bid in favour of a takeover by St. James's boys school. These will be no senior girls school from next year. I cannot help but feel that the governors have made the wrong decision - they have let down every girl in the senior school. The only cosolation is that the site of St. David's will remain as a school, rather than being redeveloped for other purposes.

No legal Worries, No Money Problems, It's all about confidence
|
|
 Last night we were told that if IES take over the school they will inject new investment. We don't have to worry about the school's finances.
Today we heard that the Charity Commission have been in contact to say that there are no legal objections to the trplacement of St. David's board of trustees by new people selected by IES. So, we don't have to worry about money; we don't have to worry about the legal obstacles to a transition to new governors. All we need is confidence in St. David's as an institution, confidence that it will still be here in September.
