Dear Parent
Please take the time to read this letter as its contents may have an effect on your child’s education at BGN.
You may or may not have heard that Oxfordshire County Council are proposing to withdraw their subsidy towards the cost of transport to faith schools. This will have a serious effect on those of you living in Bicester and the outlying villages and any who rely on school transport.
Governors and Staff of BGN want to oppose this action and wish to rally as many parents as possible to do the same.
We are calling a meeting at 6.00pm on Monday 22nd March at BGN to issue information which parents could use in their letters of concern to Oxfordshire County Council. We will also discuss the best way of voicing our concerns so that we make the most impact.
We are sending this letter to all parents knowing that we are a faith filled community and that those who may not be directly affected by transport issues will also want to offer their support.
We all believe in Catholic education; we all believe in the right for parental choice in how our children are educated. Please come to this meeting and help us to prepare and present our case. The deadline for the appeal is 1st April consequently we need to act quickly
Due to our limited parking I respectfully ask you to share transport where possible.
Yours sincerely
Catherine Weaver
Headteacher
