Road-show success - Over 1000 Letters of Support!

We would just like to say a big thank you to all of you who attended the C.L.A.R.E roadshow and to the 1052 of you who took the time to complete our Letter of Support. Yes, in just those few weeks over the summer holiday, we received 1052 letters of support for a new rural secondary school in Clare.

The roadshow was a huge success and not only gave us the opportunity to present our vision for the Stour Valley Community College but gave us the chance to speak directly to parents and residents throughout the villages and get a real understanding of what the expectations are for the new school. It also introduced us to a number of key contacts with specialist skills who are now assisting us with the proposal, due to be submitted at the end of September.

We don't have much time and the team certainly have their work cut out. As you can imagine the application for a new school is a fairly comprehensive document and requires a considerable amount of work but although a busy time for all those involved, it is an exciting time and we are as keen as ever!

So, keep supporting us and if you haven't already added yourself to the mailing list, then please do.

Many thanks
