Overview



When London will be holding the 2012 Olympics, Brandon will be faced with a major loss of its local school which was specifically built for the children of Brandon back in 1964. It was built so it could be used as a Secondary School, and there is no reason why we should let the school be thrown away by Suffolk County Council.

Suffolk County Council have decided to close Breckland Middle School, located in Brandon Suffolk, in the Summer of 2012, but it is very important that a campaign is carried out by everyone possible right now to contest the Suffolk County Council decision.

An Action Committee of 12 people has been formed with the objective to co-ordinate the actions of people who have stated they wish to assist the campaign to keep the school open. Using a variety of means of communication you will be able to keep up to date on the campaigns being run and the support actions required in support of saving the school.

Suffolk County Council have decided Brandon is too small to support a Secondary School, so part of a £32 Million School Reorganisation project will then require all children from Brandon over 11 to go on a daily 20 mile round trip to get to school.

That means each child over a 5 year period will have had to travel 15,000 miles to get to and from school: even with just 400 pupils making the trip each day from Brandon, that's then over 6 MILLION Miles over a 5 year period.

Brandon People feel that the Breckland Middle School is:

"The Community Centre at the Centre of the Community"
