I really hope that this proposal gets the green light. Sixth form colleges in Stockport are not doing well unless you manage to get a place at Aquinas.
It really is time to stop messing around with the education system and leave headteachers to get on with educating our children. It wasn't that long ago that Stockport schools had their own sixth forms and now, following Hazel Grove's example, it seems our schools want them back.
I expect in a few years we'll probably see a proposal to build a new primary school in Marple because of lack of places!
Marple Hall seems to be developing a strong vision for its future, following on from their good Ofsted. Very encouraging for Marple parents.
