SCHOOL OF THOUGHT

The controversial possibility of new secondary schools being built in Brigg and Broughton was raised by Brigg Town Mayor Coun Mike Campion.
North Lincolnshire Council, the education authority, is seeking views about the future of secondary education in the area, Brigg currently having both Sir John Nelthorpe School and Vale of Ancholme Technology College.
Coun Campion raised the issue at at Brigg Town Council meeting, and asked Coun Tom Glossop for his opinion.
A former chairman of governors at The Vale, Coun Glossop replied that although the idea of building two new schools in adjoining towns had ‘some credibility’ he did not think North Lincolnshire Council owned a suitable site in Broughton.
