Manchester city council has decided to use the Building Schools for The Future programme (BSF) as an opportunity to open up the debate on single sex schools verses co-educational schools. A consultation is currently taking place to assess whether the community wants to alter the single sex status of schools such as Whalley Range High School for Girls. I am opposed to this measure in support of many residents who have made representations to me from the local community. Whalley Range High School for Girls isn’t broke so why fix it. The school serves a large Asian population meeting both cultural and religious needs of the community. It offers choice to parents who desire to send their children to a successful state Girls School. Exam results have been improving year on year. The consultation runs until the15th of July, please post your comments also visit www.manchester.gov.uk to have your say. This will make a difference.
