CAM Publicity and Awareness Team - Update.

Over the past two days members of the CAM team have been targeting feeder schools as well as Tomlinscote and Kings with information regarding the implications of the merger on our children, their education and the general quality of life.

CAM noticed that there was no information available for families with younger children, and because of the lack of information those families may feel that their opinion will not count when the consultation period starts. The purpose of the leaflet was to highlight how this proposal will affect your choice and possibly the education provision and to encourage people to get involved with the campaign in some way.

With Tomlinscote and Kings it was not possible to hand out leaflets to parents as it had been at the junior schools so we handed leaflets to every child leaving the schools on Wednesday. If your child did not bring home a leaflet, they can be seen here.

Please make the effort to attend the Public Meeting that has been arranged for Tues 10th May at 7:30pm at Lakeside Country Club. We would appreciate you confirming your attendance via the Facebook Invite or directly to the “I Support CAM” Link on this page. The meeting will give us the opportunity to analyse the Consultation Document, ask questions, have discussions and also to look at ways that we can fight the proposal together. We have been told time and time again that this is not a done deal and that if we work together we will keep Kings and Tomlinscote operating as separate schools on separate sites giving Surrey Heath the educational choices they need and deserve.

School bus cuts to Grove.

I blogged a while back about the likely promises to provide transport should be taken with a pinch of salt.

"School Bus promises you can bet these will be hollow."

An article on Surrey Residents site is worth a read as it is evidence of this in action ...

"Grove School bus for Military Families faces cuts"

Conservative campaign literature mentions merger.

Leaflet Campaign

We are handing out the following leaflets to schools Junior and Senior if you can help please email.
