Wyvil is a vital part of the community in the Vauxhall
area. It serves that community in that it has a representative intake including
50% free school meals as well as a large black student cohort and also special
needs. A large black presence is evident on the teaching force.
Unfortunately, by a majority vote of governors, it
elected to become a Foundation school, despite concerns being raised by both
our union and colleagues from NASUWT.
We are concerned that there is a tendency to select in
Foundation schools that shows taht they have 20% fewer youngsters with free
school meals than community schools.
We do not envisiage any sgh=hoirt term drastic
changes, but we shaall continue to monitor the sitauation in terms of both
admission, but also staff relations (eg contracts, entitlements) as things
progress.
We wish the school well. |
