7 years in 7 tweets... This week we were told @OATempleQuarter will not open in 2021. Here's the whole story of how, with over 7 years notice, we failed to open this school on time to meet the acute need it was signed off for.

Applications are open and the deadline is 31 October

[BS5SecondaryForum @BS5SecForum]

The @OATempleQuarter Secondary School is due to open on a temporary for Sept 2023. Current year 6 families will need to apply directly to @OasisAcademies for the first year, in addition to making a @BristolCouncil application. To apply follow this link: https://t.co/v5lEFIE52z

At a time when it feels there’s much wrong with the world, my heart was refilled with #joy & #hope at @upourstreet #ThankYouAwards - so many awesome, kind, generous & hardworking souls quietly making Easton & Lawrence Hill a better community everyday through volunteering 🙌🏾💕🙏🏽

[BS5SecondaryForum @BS5SecForum]

Delighted to receive an @upourstreet #ThankYouAward tonight for our ongoing community campaign to make the much needed (and long overdue) @OATempleQuarter secondary school a reality for children of Easton & Lawrence Hill - such a wonderful event @eastsidebristol @Being_at_work

Land around Temple Meads is slated to be Bristol's biggest regeneration project.

But the Environment Agency warns that developing it poses a serious flood risk. Will this pour cold water on the grand vision?

It's been a long wait of nearly 2 years since we had a unanimous vote in favour of our plans by Bristol City Council's Planning Committee. Now we finally have the green light from @luhc to deliver our exciting regeneration plans for #Bristol @TempleQuarter https://t.co/GMqtHtkr26

[BS5SecondaryForum @BS5SecForum]

For 6 years we have looked at this site and tried to hold on to the hope that one day the new @OATempleQuarter secondary school will stan there……well, watch this space 😁 @Silverthorne_Ln

[BS5SecondaryForum @BS5SecForum]

Today we’re celebrating the local children who fought hard for the long overdue @OATempleQuarter secondary to become a reality. Yesterday we heard it would be 🎉 . However, the process was so long & complex many of them won’t get to attend the new sch. Big thank you to them 🙏🏽 ❤️

[BS5SecondaryForum @BS5SecForum]

Yesterday local parents gave statements to @Silverthorne_Ln Planning Inquiry, which will determine the future of the long-delayed & critically needed @OATempleQuarter secondary school. The voices of local children were also presented @upourstreet @RedfieldET #lifechances #equity
