£1.5m rescue package for Northumberland school
A troubled high school in the west of Northumberland will be brought back under council control and saved through a £1.54million rescue package.
At today’s (Tuesday, May 8) meeting of Northumberland County Council’s cabinet, members unanimously agreed the next steps in a major reorganisation of education in the Hexham and Haydon Bridge areas.
Following an informal consultation which put up to 16 schools at risk of closure or merger, proposals were unveiled a fortnight ago which would see just one close – Bellingham Middle School.
