LET'S STOP THE PLANNED CUTS ON SUPPORT FOR LEARNING STAFF!!

Orkney Islands Council are proposing cuts in Support For Learning Assistant Posts and will inevitably affect all schools across Orkney, Primary and Secondary, and in the long run will have implications for all pupils in all sectors.

Schools are already stretched and cutting more ‘front line’ staff will create further pressures on schools, teachers and ultimately, pupils.

This will almost certainly have impact on the quality of learning experiences our children have in their classrooms.

Hope School Parent Council have started the ball rolling with the fight against the proposed OIC cuts in Support For Learning Assistant posts. They have sent letters from the Parent Council and also from individual parents, highlighting their concerns and questions to many of the key figures in the OIC as well as local councillors.
