Secondary school catchment guarantee has been removed

Despite our best efforts, Newport Council have made the decision to remove the secondary school guaranteee that currently exists for admission to secondary schools in Newport, specifically for Marshfield in relation to Bassaleg High. This takes effect from September 2014. The decision was made by Cabinet member Councillor Bob Poole on 5th April 2013.

We have still not received satisfactory and full answers to the queries raised by Marshfield Community Council (and also by Marshfield Primary Governing Body) in the Consultation period. We are seeking responses to these from Newport Council and are investigating whether it is appropriate to make a complaint against the consultation procedure to the Ombudsman.
