We, the undersigned, call on the Governors of Gartree High School, Manor High School and Beauchamp College of Oadby, Leicestershire to withdraw their current proposals for age-range changes. If change is to happen, we call on them to issue a coherent, collaborative child-centred proposal that includes:
• Evidence that changes will improve the excellent education already delivered by the Oadby system;
• An honest examination of the benefits of our 3-tier system and what would be lost;
• Maintaining levels of local access to sixth-form places;
• Detailed costs, sources of funding and justification of these costs to taxpayers;
• Impact assessment of increased traffic and how that will be managed
