Pershore Pyramid Consultation

Latest Update – July 2023

Dear parents/carers,

As you are aware there have been a number of changes to the schools in Pershore. Decisions were made to change the age range of some schools. These changes have had a significant impact on some schools, particularly the Middle Schools.

As a result of these changes, the Department for Education and the Local Authority are working closely with schools to review the current system in Pershore. This has resulted in this consultation. Please see the consultation document here [Word] (or PDF version).

It is really important that you share your views and respond to the consultation no later than Friday 26^th November.

We are holding two consultation meetings on 19^th October at 9am and 6pm to share the impact of the suggested options and to answer any questions (please try to attend one).

Main points:

• Consultation opened on the 11^th October and closes 26^th November
• Proposal to combine Abbey Park Schools Federation into one Primary School.
• Option 1 – No Year 7 in Middle School from Sept 23.  Middle School would only have Year 6 in it and Year 5 would be part of the Abbey Park First School.
• Option 2 – Middle School closes Sept 2023, Year 5 and Year 6 stay in the new ‘Abbey Park Primary’.
• Option 3 – emergency changes, no Middle School from Sept 2022.
• It is essential that all parents complete the online survey sharing their preferred option (paper versions available on request).
