Following their own consultation with parents, staff and students and the receipt of their own
commissioned due diligence report, the Governors of Tomlinscote School and Sixth Form
College met last night to consider the Surrey County Council proposal for Tomlinscote to
become one school on two sites from September 2012.
After discussion on the proposal, consideration of the due diligence and consideration of the
outcomes of their own consultations, the Governors voted on the Surrey County Council
proposal.
The proposal was unanimously rejected by the Governing body.
Tomlinscote Governors wished to emphasise their strong support for Kings International
through the current Soft Federation arrangement.
