The Wyndford and St Gregory's Primary Schools occupation blog. We occupied our schools, to defend them from closure by Glasgow City Council Labour Group during the Spring Break in August 2009. These videos are a record of some of what happened...
Sunday 5 April 2009
St Gregory's and the Wyndford Primary Schools are under occupation!
Support our campaign to save our school!
The Labour run Glasgow City Council have proposed to close 25 Glasgow schools. We are determined to keep our schools open!
Here is a message from Heather on behalf of the Merrylee Nursery Class Parents Forum which is fighting to keep its nursery as a term-time nursery and to keep its head teacher:
To all those who are making a very important statement about their and their children's opportunities-you are very brave in doing what you are doing, and the BBC coverage was very positive. The two women interviewed came accross brilliantly (the danger with the press is that they can often take somrthing very positive like this and turn it in to something negative).
You really got your point over and it made me realise the effect these closures would have on the atmosphere and spirit in your whole community. I so so hope that April 23rd brings the right result for all of you and your children...and you will always know that you gave it the very very best shot for your children. Well done to you all and I sincerely hope the Labour councillors save your schools because you have certainly given it your best shot!
Hi Shawn and other St Greg's occupiers! You guys are great! I will visit you tomorrow evening. All the best, Esther Sassaman
ReplyDeleteKeep it up, you guys! Campsie SSP will be down today with food (and a toaster!)
