Governors Protest Meeting

A massive thank you to everyone who turned out for the protest outside the school yesterday. We were up to 45 strong, including WHS parents, staff and students, prospective parents, councillors and the wider community. We had fun, made lots of noise and ensured that our message was conveyed loud and clear, courtesy of a megaphone and lots of car hooting!

Check out page 3 of The Argus today, with a positive piece and picture that captures the spirit of our campaign and purple theme.

A piece of purple ribbon will be tied to the railings on the public footpath, outside the main entrance of the school everyday - a symbolic and colourful reminder that our campaign continues, despite the vote by Governors yesterday to go ahead with their academy proposal application. See Alison Beer's email that went out to parents at the school below.

Representatives of our group and union reps will be in Worthing centre on Saturday, meeting at the bandstand area (between Laura Ashley and Monsoon) at 10 am. They will be talking to the public, raising awareness and promoting our campaign. Please join them if you can, even if it's just for half an hour.

Other news: a Worthing High Academy Action Group blog / website is currently under construction. We will unveil this to you asap. And our next public meeting will be on Tuesday 12th June, at 7.30 pm at the Cricket Club on Manor Ground rec., off Broadwater Road, Worthing.

We will be in touch again soon.

Thanks for your continue support and input.

The Committee
