As a parent of a current year 2 pupil at shilbottle school I strong back the idea of it becoming a primary school 100%! The teaching is outstanding in this school and living in the village with both sons going to this school I feel it important to make school a happy setting with a smooth transition when it's time.

I'm a parent of a current year 4 at shilbottle and I fully support this proposal to stay at shilbottle as it provides excellent standard of teaching and will reduce the disruption to the children during the upheavel at the middle schools if the 2 tier system is brought in....It will in my eyes protect the current year fives in middle school from more disruption keeping the current year 4 children where they are, thus allowing the current teachers at the middle school to concentrate on the children who are already there....

I certainly back option D 100% this will make the transition of changing to a 2 tier system alot easier and smoother with less children to move around schools. This way our current year 4's get a calmer and less stressful build up to their SATS with outstanding teaching.

As a parent of a current year 4 pupil I strongly support model D the other options are going to cause significant upheaval to our children a decision needs to be made quickly to ensure minimum disruption to the education of our children.

As a current Year 4 parent I strongly support this proposal. I do not believe that Models A, B, C will provide the optimal education for my child at this point in time. 100% back the proposal to keep current Year 4 at school. I will also be extremely happy to have my Year 1 pupil stay at the school for 2 more years.

I definitely support the children staying at Shilbottle. Here they get an excellent stable education. The other options spell out chaotic mess to me. Please keep them at Shilbottle for years 5 and 6.
