• Alan Stubbs tries out Kirkby's new leisure centre

Access Tools

Knowsley Council wants to hear your views about how its new learning centres should be governed.

The new learning centres will be very different from the existing secondary schools – in addition to providing education for children, they will offer a range of services including healthcare, childcare and adult education as well as providing a base for community activities. They will be a major focus for the regeneration of local communities.

To achieve all of this, we need move away from the existing arrangement of school governing bodies to a system which is more representative of the views of pupils, parents and the community.

Over the next few weeks we are holding a series of focus group meetings to find out from you how you think the new system could work. We will also be providing an online consultation tool for several weeks after this, which will be available on http://knowsley.dialoguebydesign.net/. Please use this link to register, after which you will be notified when the online consultation has begun.

If you are interested in education and community matters, or simply want to find out more about the learning centres, please log on or come along to a focus group session. Places are limited so please RSVP to David Walter on 0151 443 3271 or email: david.walter@knowsley.gov.uk.
