School rolls in England and Wales have been falling steadily since the early 1990s, and although there has been a slight upturn recently, it is unlikely that they will return to previous levels for many years.
It is in this context that we are considering whether to close Detling CE Primary School. For further information please review the proposal document (pdf)
The Parish Council has set up a commitee to discuss future uses of the Detling School site if the school closes in July 2007. We think it very important that the site should continue to serve the villahe community.
Detling Pre-School will continue to operate from this site. The group is thriving and hopes to expand next year.
The school grounds will provide a village green and playing field. Other possible uses being discussed for the buildings are a childrens centre; an occasional doctors surgery; a parish office; an adult education centre and perhaps car parking area for the village.
If you have any views, comments or ideas to contribute, please contact Gavin McLaggan on 738109.

Community Award
Presented at the Christmas
Fair
The Parish Council recently
introduced a community, award
for a person from Detling who
has made a significant
contribution towards the life of
the village.
The Citation to Pat Follett
reads as follows -
Pat's influence in the
village is incalculable. She
always seems to be aware of
people in need of emotional or
other help. She has been in
charge of the Church's pastoral
group since its inception. She is a
most selfless person, quietly
dedicating herself to the good of
others and to keeping good
neighbourliness to the forefront
of Detling life.
When the Over SOs Club had
to close, she took up the reins
and started what has become
"Detling Companions ": a way
for villagers to get together for
tea and socialising, which is most
appreciated.
She and Brian are mainstays
of the Church and all its
activities. They host the prayer
group at their home. A typical
gesture of hers was in cooking
gingerbread "St Martins " for the
patronal festival within daYs of
returning home from major
surgery.
She is a very special person
within Detling and well beyond. "

The vicar (the Rev Ron Gamble), Churchwardens and the church architect at Detling have met the Archdeacon
(the Ven. Philip Down), representatives of the Diocesan Advisory Council and English Heritage to dicuss improvements to the church.
Their hope is to obtain permissions to provide water, toilet, kitchen and a small open area for group activities. There is also a plan
to lay a new path by the side of the existing cobbled path for better access, especially for the disabled.
If permission is granted the next task is to raise funds. |
