The Scottish Minister for Education, Life Long Learning and Early Retirement etc must have been reading my rant on the need to put us all out of our misery over the future of Hutton Primnry School as the decision to close the school wef end of the term ( in less than 2 weeks time!) has now formally been taken by the Scottish Executive. A sad end to a long era of effective community based education but at least we know. I hope that the Education Gurus at Newtown St Boswells will now be more supportive over those parents who wish to send their children to Swinton as opposed to Chirnside.
Note to The Maul on Sunday: Minister is a Mr Pocock and not Peacock.
