The Governing Body of Somerford Primary School

The Governing Body of Somerford Primary School is consulting on its proposal to close the school's maintained nursery provision known as Goslings.
The nursery was not full in the academic year of 2016-17 and was operating at a loss which the school had to top up. In the academic year 2017-18, the numbers of children attending the nursery has reduced further and it is now costing approximately £10,000 a term from the school's budget intended for school aged children to keep the nursery open.
The Governors believe this is an impossible amount of money for the school to subsidise, particularly in a climate of reduced school budgets and increased expectations. Procedure for responses: support, objections and comments
The formal proposal document can be found at www.somerford.dorset.sch.uk
If you wish to make any comments please do so in writing by sending them to office@somerford.dorset.sch.uk or by post to Somerford Primary School, Draper Road, Christchurch, BH23 3AS before the end of the consultation period which is midday on 19th February 2018. Please mark your comments for the attention of the Governing Body.
If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact the Governing Body or Mrs Frampton on 01202 485436 or via office@somerford.dorset.sch.uk
