09/04/08 - Huge transport costs if Lafford pupils go to other schools
EDITOR - I am writing with regard to the proposed closure of the Lafford High School in Billinghay and the consequent proposal to bus secondary school pupils to either Sleaford, Ruskington or Tattershall schools.
It is not so long ago that the county council were complaining of the ever increasing costs of providing transport for rural pupils to access their schools.
At one time pupils from Metheringham went to the Lafford School (c.1996), so perhaps it is time for there to be school admission zones and smaller class sizes which would benefit pupils in many subjects.
If not, how many other secondary schools will be affected by 'falling' numbers?
