Cllr John Yates - Spokeperson on Education for the Liberal Democrats on Northamptonshire County Council
Councillor John Yates, Liberal Democrat Spokesman for Education has welcomed the statement made by the County Council's Cabinet Member for Education, Cllr. Joan Kirkbride at the Children & Young Peoples Scrutiny Committee regarding the future of Braybrooke Primary School, within Kettering Borough.
The statement came after local press reports suggested that the school, which caters for a large number of children from the local travellers' community, might be closed.
He said: "The Liberal Democrats have had concerns at the reports in the local press regarding the provision of education at Braybrooke Primary School. The Cabinet Member's proposal to preserve the current provision and to extend to secondary and potentially adult provision can only be a good thing for the Traveller Community".
