City and County Councillor for Nevilles Cross

Durham Johnston Admissions - meeting at St Margaret’s School

Around 70 parents attended a meeting late yesterday afternoon at St Margaret’s School to discuss the change in admissions criteria for Durham Johnston.

The meeting was called by two of its governors, Vanessa Kind and Sue Lyons and I attended to try to explain the situation and how it got to where it has. Grenville Holland, the other recently elected County Councillor was also there.

After a lively discussion, Vanessa Kind, one of the two governors gave a presentation on the working of the Office of the School Adjudicator.

The meeting then agreed to submit a group objection to the Adjudicator on the change of criteria.

Here are the documents from the meeting:
