A further point when on the subject of education is to ask you a question. To what extent are you going to go to, to destroy the current generation’s education? As a Year 10 pupil myself, I would feel that moving school at a crucial part in my life, would only make my future terrible. With the confidence loss and the insecurity, I would indeed fail in my GCSE’s. Many of the other pupils have shared their point of view with me and many have had the same opinions as I have and would feel quite scared at the prospect of moving to different school. Think to yourself. Where would you be without your education? Yes, they could learn everything else they need know in a different school, but a different surrounding and different people (teachers and pupils) would mean that fitting in and releasing the potential is going to take some time to adapt to. Wouldn’t it make not more sense to keep this school, which should I mention has a fantastic reputation, open so that our future pupils and our current pupils can have the best education that Wallasey has to give?
Wallasey has a remarkable reputation. With the resent win of “Grease, The School Musical”, many have come to our school and mentioned what a talented school we are. The publicity has made Wallasey a very popular school in the last few months. What would Wallasey be without Wallasey School’s fabulous reputation? With talented pupils in this school and many more talented pupils to come in the future, how would you feel if your child has been through such a great opportunity and their happiness was shattered with thought of moving to a different school?
Wallasey School has a great variety of before and after school clubs up for offer too. These clubs have helped parents who work early and late. Getting the pupils to a safe place in the morning and making sure that they are safe after school with someone they can trust is vital. If it wasn’t for the Breakfast Club and the after -school activities, many parents would be stuck and helpless with what to do for the best. This school is a help to the community, a saviour you might say. Put yourself into one of the parent’s shoes and think about what problems would occur if the closure was to go ahead.
The last reason I would like to mention is the History of the building you are intending to knock down. Wallasey used to two separated schools in the past, Henry Meols and Oxley. These schools, when knocked down, were rebuilt and joined together to form Wallasey School. The History of the two schools and the Wallasey School has been amazing and would indeed be lost if the closure of the school was to happen. Many of the older generations and the current generation’s memories would be lost and I am sure that the community would also be quite upset with the loss of one of their most historic schools. How would you feel if all your childhood memories were taken away from you?
I hope that you read this with an empty mind and have taken into consideration all the reasons for keeping Wallasey School open and the fact that I have also taken into account the apposing argument. Please reconsider your choice and let the Wallasey School have a much larger history and give more children to opportunity to learn from, in my opinion, the best.
Yours Sincerely
Amanda Panda
