Blyth Partnership
Latest News!!!!!!!!!
Pre-planning Exhibitions that are to take place in Blyth First Schools during February 2008.


The purpose of these exhibitions is to show the current plans for the new buildings and extensions of Blyth First Schools as a result of the reorganisation of Blyth Partnership to a system of primary/secondary education from September 2009. An exhibition will take place in each of the first schools to remain open from September 2009 and will show the plans for the new building or extension of that school. These exhibitions are for information purposes and are non-statutory, and therefore do not constitute formal consultation.

Any person with an interest in the planned changes to the First Schools is welcome to attend. Members of the design team and officers from the County Council will be on hand to assist with queries and questions and there will be an opportunity to register comments on the planned new buildings and extensions. These exhibitions will take place on the dates and venues given below:
