Protesting a School’s Closing
Thursday 15th of March 2007 11:52:16 PM
Parents and the children who attend St. Paul’s Nursery and Infants School, located in Chester, UK, took their frustrations over the school’s closing by demonstrating - carrying signs and wearing printed T-shirts. They are concerned over the school’s closing because they believe the school offers their children a good education. “I live in Upton and have travelled across town for nine years to bring my children to this school because they get a unique education here. My children are able to go swimming, they can walk into town and visit the cathedral. They can get on a train and visit Liverpool. The art here is amazing and it is a very caring school,” said Helen Williams, a parent of some of the students.The school, which taught sixty-two students, was closed because it was a small school that was costing too much to operate. Since hearing of the closing, the school has offered to turn itself into a primary school by building on an extra classroom. “We are the only city centre school and if they close us they'll never be able to get another site like this again,” Sue Churchill, chairman of governors, said. The students who were attending the school will most likely be placed at nearby Cherry Grove Primary School.
Demonstrators wearing printed T-shirts that said ‘Support St.Paul’s’ marched down to the county hall from the school as a way to make it aware to passersby that the school was to be shut down. “Look where it is. That has got to be in their minds. We're in the heart of the community, the school has been here for centuries offering good schooling to generations of children,” Sara Barnsley, vice-chairman of governors, said.

the chance to review the image is great for checking everything over one last time before printing. the time between reviewing the print and delivery was another positive, taking only a couple of days. my friends were really pleased with the finished items. unfortunately i was out when the courier called. he didn't note the date or time of his attempted delivery on his card and he hadn't filled in when or if he would attempt delivery again. on repeatedly phoning the company on a friday between 4:50 and 6 i got no answer. i then tried again on the monday morning, but once again i got no answer. after phoning clothes2order they resolved everything. i realise this is outwith the control of clothes2order, but it soured an otherwise excellent service.
Delighted with the results. Very popular so repeat orders very likely.
great service, no problems at all
