| According
to today's Liverpool Daily Post, there
are proposals to close all of Knowsley's
secondary schools and replace them with 8
"24 hour centres". The Prescot
School site will be one of the 8 centres
but will be known as "Knowsley
Central" and essentially, Whiston
Higherside and Prescot School will be
amalgamated on this site. Kind of ironic
if you remember that there were
(ultimately unsucessful) proposals to
merge these two schools on the Higherside
site in around 1979/80. [Connie via

My
sister spoke to staff at the school and
it sounds like this is more than a
proposal as the council already have a
site ear marked for this monster school.
Apparently Prescot is full to bursting
while applications to join Higherside
have dropped dramatically, so it looks
like they are willing to sacrifice one
good, popular school with a history
unrivalled by many others, to shore up an
unpopular school.
I was appalled when I read about this and
wonder if you have any ideas of how we
can get old Prescotians activated to
lobby the council to come up with
something more imaginative for Higherside
and leave Prescot tocontinue delivering
the good service it provides for the kids
of Knowsley. [Jenny Clay] |
