A MEETING to discuss the future of secondary education in Haverfordwest will take place on Monday, March 2.
The meeting, at Sir Thomas Picton (STP) School Hall, will be a chance for parents, governors, pupils and members of the public to discuss proposed changes to STP and Tasker Milward School.
Pembrokeshire County Council is currently looking at creating a new ‘super school’ on the STP site for Tasker Milward and STP pupils, with sixth formers then going on to Pembrokeshire College.
But concerned parents and students have set up a Facebook group called ‘Haverfordwest Pupils Demand a Sixth-Form’, demanding that pupils at both schools be allowed to choose where they study A Levels.
So far, the group has more than 1,300 members.
Speaking last month, former Tasker Milward pupil, Secretary of State for Wales Stephen Crabb MP, said: “The proposals for Haverfordwest also don’t look right to me.
"Personally speaking, I believe that Haverfordwest has benefited greatly from having two secondary schools and I would be desperately sad if Tasker Milward were ever to close."
The meeting starts at 7pm.
