Statement on Green Oak School
Green Oak Church of England Primary is facing closure after the Conservative Government refused a request for co-funding from the Good Shepherd Trust and the Conservative Surrey council leadership failed to turn up to the ”consultation” meeting on the closure.
”It’s clear they are only going through the motions,” South West Surrey Labour chair Tim Corry said. ”It is bizarre is that they’re closing a school in an area where hundreds of new houses are being built. Everyone know we’ll need a school for them, the common sense step is to invest in and develop what is already there, minimising disruption to existing and future pupils education.”
