| 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

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
