Yes the money is for an increase to 2FE, however that is impossible with the school on it's current site, even with development the plot of land there is only so large and would not accomodate 2FE.

KCC have stated that the likely course of action will be to reduce to 1/2 FE if this doesn't go ahead, which of course doesn't mean "close". But it is a natural progression that with reduced entry/reduced budget/reduced resource, that the school will not be able to perform to it's current standards. With a reduced in-take, access to any money to improve the current site will be virtually impossible and that points towards eventual closure.

So no-one is saying that if it doesn't go ahead the school will close within a year, but it is a high probability that the school will enter a gradual decline which makes it untenable compared to whatever alternative "new" school has to arrive in place of the proposed development.

Yes I know 2fe can't go on the current site allot of the opposition is the fact that the school would be 2fe and who knows in future 3fe etc. 1\2 fe will only happen if mobiles are removed and not replaced, this is not a certainty. So even if it did go to 1\2fe would tunstall be the only school like it? No it won't there are lots of 1\2fe and less than 1\2fe schools which have been going for years and will continue to do so.
