WHAT YOU CAN DO NOW

IF YOU ONLY WRITE ONE EMAIL OR LETTER ( more would be great )

PLEASE SEND IT TO THE GOVERNING BODY at Tomlinscote as they have the ability to prevent this proposal going ahead.

Please email your concerns in relation to the consulation proposal and any other concerns that you might have in relation to the proposal. You need to let the Governing Body know what your feelings are. Could we ask that if you sent emails and letters to the school BEFORE the governors consultation email address was set up on April 18th then please resend them.
We would welcome a copy of the emails that are sent in so we can keep a record of individuals concerns so please forward these to the tomlinscote.kings.nomerger@gmail.com (we will also have an idea of the volume of letters sent).
We would urge all concerned parents from both Kings and Tomlinscote and other feeder schools and local residents to make your concerns known to the governing body of Tomlinscote.

CONSULTATION DOCUMENTS

Please do not fill in the consultation documents until you have been fully informed by attending the SCC meetings and the meetings to be held by the Governing Body of Tomlinscote. We will be updating our blogsite with information in relation to the consultation document regularly.
PLEASE WAIT AND BE FULLY INFORMED BEFORE RESPONDING TO THE CONSULTATION DOCUMENT - We at CAM will help to inform you.


WHAT WE ARE DOING?
As a group we are determined to work together Kings parents and Tomlinscote parents and community residents to remain separate.The alternatives we see at the moment that do not engage in expansion, merger, absorption, subsuming are:

1.To keeps Kings and Tomlinscote in the current soft federation and to build on the strengths that this had provided but with SCC fully supporting and effectively marketing and advertising Kings for its positive elements.

2.To keep Tomlinscote as a separate entity

3.To keep Kings as a separate entity

4.To take Kings out of SCC control and have an academy provider like Oasis who spoke last night about what they could offer to a school like Kings to make it viable sustainable secondary school offering educational excellence.

We within CAM will not walk away from Kings if the Tomlinscote Governors do not agree to go ahead with the proposal.
We have clearly stated from the start that we will all work together to ensure that Kings becomes the school the parents of Kings International require sustainable and viable. We as CAM will support Kings whatever the outcome of the decision.
We are all in this together with the aim of preventing the expansion/ merger occuring which will result in the children and parents of Surrey Heath residents being provided with educational choice.

Thank you for your support

Louise Nicholas
Chair CAM

  2. Whilst assistance from an established provider like Oasis is welcome, there are other options. We should be careful to reserve options before these can be investigated.

    As an example, the Church of England is a large provider of schools, but in this area is mainly concerned with primary schools. Perhaps the Diocese of Guildford would be interested in adopting Kings as an associate school?

  3. Please help, I want to write to the Governors but just not sure what to put in the e-mail as there are so many points to include

  4. Include the ones that are most important to you personally. My list is:-

    Split site school - educational disaster.
    The trouble that will be caused by a reorganisation.
    Loss of educational choice in Surrey.
    How will my kids get to school (child safety) and traffic.
