Stiperstones School to remain open

Early last year this blog was much concerned with the fate of Stiperstones primary school in my very favourite part of Shropshire.

Now the BBC News pages for the county confirm that the school is to remain open after agreeing to enter a federation with another primary school.

And a big Liberal England hello to Councillor Cecilia Motley, now the cabinet member responsible for schools in Shropshire. She is not quite Aggie Caesar-Homden, but she does confirm that you need a faintly exotic name to land this role at Shropshire Council.
