Really excellent news has just come through that Haringey's new secondary school, which will be in Noel Park ward and the Haringey Heartlands will be really local, it will be a community school that is part of the local authority.
The decision has just been made by the School Adjudication Panel and comes after support for this from local residents, teachers, parents, governors and councillors and MPs (yes, both Labour and Lib Dem) and a brilliant performance both at the public meeting and public hearing by Haringey's Director of Children's Services, Sharon Shoesmith.
So, well done to all involved, this is a marvelous day, oh and one in the eye for acadamies. The emphasis will be on education for children, not how much money can be raised for shareholders. I am really excited by this opportunity and look forward to having a secondary school again in Noel Park ward.
