Pupils at St Martins' Rhyn Park School, near Oswestry, are opening their classrooms up to protesters against plans to merge their secondary school with the village primary school. Pupils at St Martins' Rhyn Park School, near Oswestry, are opening their classrooms up to protesters against plans to merge their secondary school with the village primary school. They have been so upset by criticism of an all-through-school for St Martins that they have persuaded teachers to allow them to run an open evening on May 16 when they say they will talk to visitors to allay fears about a school for children aged three to 16. This week plans to create an all-through school at St Martins were put on hold by education bosses so that more talks can go ahead. The plan would see Ifton Heath Primary School shut and relocate to the Rhyn Park site as part of a major reorganisation of education in the county. [24link]
