Consultation

At the start of public consultation in October 2007 a  consultation document and questionnaire were distributed to stakeholders, including: parents, teachers, school staff, governors, teachers unions, local councillors, MPs and MEPS.  As well as the main document individual information sheets for schools in Haverhill and the surrounding area were distributed to stakeholders. The individual school page refers you to a timeline. View the timeline here.  

Some of the benefits and issues relating to the Haverhill options were identified during the consultation period.


All comments received from members of the public using the paper copy of the questionnaire have been compiled into a spreadsheet.

406 questionnaires were received from a single middle school. Comments received from this group have been analysed separately as they focused on a specific issue.
