Next Tuesday November 9th there is a meeting of the Kirklees Council Cabinet in Huddersfield Town Hall. On the agenda is a report recommending that the proposed re-organisation of schools in the Cleckheaton area to create primary schools and 11 – 16 secondary school should go ahead.

Council officers are proposing that £6 million altogether be spent on:

1. Scholes First: to extend and improve – £2million
2. Whitechapel: to transform into a 2 form entry primary – £3 million
3. West End: to create a new nursery and reception classes in the old part of the school – £1 million 

Once this money has been invested Cleckheaton’s primary schools will have some very good buildings to go with the outstanding education they provide.
