Suffolk South MP Tim Yeo visits Clare middle school

MP for Suffolk South Tim Yeo whom has already shown his support for a rural secondary school in Clare visited the middle school site last Friday.

Headteacher Nigel Evans and Jim Meikle, C.L.A.R.E chairman showed Mr Yeo around the school before meeting with the C.L.A.R.E group.

Speaking to the East Anglian Daily Times, Mr Yeo said: “I am fully supportive of the idea of a new secondary school in Clare".

"I believe this would best serve the interests of the town and the surrounding villages and is clearly preferable to bussing eleven-year-old boys and girls to schools in Haverhill".

“I am delighted the county council has accepted that a new secondary school in Clare is a real possibility. “They clearly recognise the considerable merits of this proposal or they would not have seen fit to suggest it at all.

“Our task now is to make this their preferred option. And if the local community get behind the idea they have my full backing.”
