Suffolk Coalition Opposing Free Schools campaign spreads

The Suffolk Coalition Against Free Schools that launched on Friday has now spread across social media. As well as a website  http://scofs.net  there is a Facebook Page and @SuffolkCOFS on Twitter

Later this week there are public meetings planned by the Seckford Foundation who are behind the Ixworth Free School proposal. Several posters advertising the public meetings have appeared in the Thurston area. You can see a picture of one here with a SCOFS flyer underneath it. This appeared on Facebook with the caption this is what competition between schools looks like.

The public meetings take place:

• Tue 15th May at Blackborne Middle School 7pm
• Wed 16th May at Ixworth Middle School 7pm

Meanwhile the Beccles and Saxmundham schools have still not received final approval from the DfE although they are recruiting for staff still.

The transport consultation that has already caused huge controversy across the County continues next week with meetings (all 7pm to 9pm)

• Mildenhall College of Technology: Monday 14 May
• Samuel Ward Academy: Tuesday 15 May 
• Beccles Middle School: Monday 21 May
• Sudbury Upper School: Tuesday 22 May
