St. DAVID'S GIRLS, ASHFORD TO CLOSE!!
Posted: Sat Apr 18, 2009 6:57 am
Just heard from a friend that this school is to close, another casualty of the recession I think.
Their results at GCSE and A Level have been on the slide over the past 3 or 4 years and this has obviously not helped. It was a school that my wife and I were looking at a couple of years ago but lacked the academic rigour that DD needed. We were thrilled when she passed the entrance exam for Notre dame, Cobham.
I think that once a school goes below a critical number in terms of pupils, the writing is on the wall! Staff salaries, heating costs and maintenance bills are very high and St David's probably suffered in this respect. I feel for the parents who received this news on Tuesday and hope that they all find places for their DD's soon.
I don't know if Notre Dame have any places available for next year, but if any parents from St. David's view this MB, it may be worth giving them a call. I can thoroughly recommend this school to any prospective parent out there.
