  • Consultation on Proposed Changes To
    CONSULTATION ON PROPOSED CHANGES TO BRIDGNORTH ENDOWED SCHOOL (Reduction in Published Admission Number and closure of Sixth Form) On THURSDAY 29TH NOVEMBER 2018 at 6PM At Old Hall, Bridgnorth Endowed School PRESENT: Mr B Worth Headteacher Mr M Freathy Chair of Governors IN ATTENDANCE: Mrs Jo Nicholls - Clerk to governors Parents of pupils at Bridgnorth Endowed School (4) Chair of Bridgnorth Area Schools' Trust (representing Oldbury Wells School, Bridgnorth) 1. ADDRESS BY HEADTEACHER The Headteacher thanked those present for coming out to the meeting and introduced himself, the Chair of Governors and the Clerk who would be recording the meeting. He then outlined, with the aid of a screen presentation, the considerations which had led to the Governing Board’s decision to both reduce the current Published Admission Number (PAN) and withdraw sixth form provision at Bridgnorth Endowed School (BES). The key focus points of the presentation were as follows: FALLING PUPIL DEMOGRAPHIC Pupil numbers had gone through a sustained period of decline within Bridgnorth. There had been a 20% drop-off of pupils aged 11-18 for local secondaries to draw from over the past ten years. An even bigger drop, of 40%, had been sustained in children following a course for 16-19-year-olds in the town. Reasons for this decline were complex, the Head said, but a clear factor was the increasing desire of pupils to go further afield to study at this stage of their education. With more children aspiring to university it was a good interim step, offering a taste of independence and a sense of new horizons.
