I also met with colleagues from Radio Aire, Radio Leeds, The Guardian, The Yorkshire Post and The Yorkshire Evening Post to talk about the National Challenge papers we are taking to Executive Board next week...

I wanted these colleagues to really understand why we are making these proposals, what our recommendations are and that we have listened to concerns about the future of the City of Leeds School and girls only provision in the city. It is also important to understand that the process continues with the three school closure proposals to the publication of Statutory Notices and that the final decisions will not be taken until June.
