Supporters of a London vocational school have made last-ditch pleas to save it from being closed down. There were both impassioned and reasoned pleas to maintain B-Davison as a vocational school most focused on students who supporters say were lost in traditional high schools.
Supporters of a London vocational school have made last-ditch pleas to save it from being closed down.
There were both impassioned and reasoned pleas to maintain B-Davison as a vocational school most focused on students who supporters say were lost in traditional high schools.
"The kids could get hands-on work and understand what they were doing because they were being trained by professionals," said former support staff worker Angie Welch.
Welch worked at Sir George Ross and Thames Secondary — two high schools that were merged and became B-Davison in 2014.
According to Welch, what will be lost is supports for students who are struggling to find a path.
There were four presenters at Tuesday night’s public input session with about 40 supporters in the gallery.
"You were easily lab led as a trouble maker. Believe it, or not, detention was my home room," said former Ross student Catie Tweel.
