Nigel Hartin, Shropshire Councillor for Clun Division, which includes Bedstone School, said “This is very sad news, quite a shock. The school has been prominent in the local community for many years, employing a number of local people..
“Our local primary schools have also had very fruitful working relationships with Bedstone School over the years. For example, they have held many sports fixtures for local state primary schools including a cross-country competition only last week. The school also allowed the Blue Hills Federation (Newcastle, Clunbury, Bucknell schools) to hold joint musical events in their main hall where the 3 Federation schools and parents can get together
“On a practical level Bedstone School currently supplies good quality school dinners at cost to our primary school – St Marys Bucknell.
“On a number of levels, the closure of the school will be keenly felt.”
The closure will beat the end of the summer term and local schools are being contacted to assess availability of places for those parents who want to transfer pupils to the state sector
