Council thanked for support of school pupils
For a number of years the Governors and Parents at the school have been campaigning for the provision of post 16 education in an environment familiar to pupils and in which they feel safe and supported so that they can be better equipped to cope with life in the 21st century.
It is to be hoped that with the support of all parties in the council chamber the SEELB, which has so far refused to to provide such an opportunity for children with Moderate Learning Difficulties, will see the justice of what is demanded and provide the necessary support to the school.

*In last week’s story we quoted Cllr Uel Mackin as saying he had a daughter at Beechlawn. In face he was speaking about a constituent who had a child at the school. Apologies for the confusion.
