Culverhay set to become an Academy

Bath & North East Somerset Council have taken a huge step in securing the Future of Culverhay School by revoking the Closure notice that was moved by the previous Conservative administration.

The revocation motion was moved by Liberal Democrat Cabinet member for Children's Services Nathan Hartley, and was carried by seven votes to nil at the Council Cabinet meeting on 13th October 2011.

It was interesting to hear from the Conservative opposition group that seem to have done a complete U Turn and are now supporting the retention of Culverhay School as an Academy ( It is a shame that they put the area through so much pain and wasted so much public money first).


We now await the Confirmation from the Government that Culverhay will be granted Academy Status.

We understand that the Cabot Academy Which is the Schools preferred option to run the School plans an intake of Girls as early as September 2012 subject to the Academy being approved.

Car Park done at last

Work being don this morning

We are pleased to see Somer Housing have at last resurfaced the car park at Naish House on Shaws way that I asked to be done over six months ago.

Although disappointed that it has taken so long to get this car park resurfaced I am pleased that the work has at last been done.

Twerton infants new frontage open

We were both pleased to be able to attend the opening of the new frontage of Twerton infant school.

The new mosaics made by the Children that Welcome people to the School took months to make and are a credit to the Children and the Staff.

The new frontage makes the School a welcoming place for visitors children and parents alike.

Well done to all at the School this is fantastic.

Both Twerton Councillors Tim Ball & Gerry Curran have senior positions in the new administration with Tim Ball taking on the cabinet role of Homes & planning with Gerry Curran becoming Chair of the Development Control Committee.
