Happy to speak to
@BBCNews
&
@looknorthBBC
about whether schools should stay open amid rising numbers. A huge point of debate & indeed influenced by each individual school’s context. It is clearly better for the academic & pastoral welfare of children for them to be in school.
Wow, thanks for sharing this. Tranby Croft is indeed now an independent school for 3-18 yr olds. We offer history tours throughout the year where you can learn all about the Wilsons & visit the Baccarat Room where the scandal took place. Email gordon.stephenson
