MSPs visit Wick High School 18th. April

The three Highlands and Islands MSPs, Peter Peacock, Rhoda Grant and David Stewart have been visiting Wick High School on Friday 18th. April .

Peter Peacock made the following comments:

"The school is every bit as grim as we had expected and is not suitable for the 21st century

The children and teachers deserve much better.

"We pledge to support the parents and the school in making the case to convince Highland Council that it is a priority to replace Wick High School

"There are three parts to the campaign – to persuade Highland Council that they must make a bigger allocation to their education budget, to convince them that Wick High School is a high priority case and to push for replacement.

"It is a great pity that at the time Highland Council identified the 11 new schools to be built funded by PPP Wick High School was not classified as a high priority.

"However, it is important that we all focus on the future and achieve a positive outcome for the staff and children there now.

"This is an issue which has cross party support – it is vital that with Highland Council we find a way to fund a new school"

The parents and teachers at Wick High School have been highlighting the dreadful state of the school buildings.

 

Their campaign for a new Wick High School has our total support and we initially raised the issue in parliament in October 2007.
