Justice for Cotham School

Fighting for safe & secure use of Stoke Lodge playing fields for Cotham School pupils from 35+ wards across Bristol, after 12yrs obstruction by local lobbyists

Definitely worth sharing this one. The effect on academies could be country wide. Let’s hope there is finally Justice for Cotham School now.

Great work here. Lifesavers

[Justice for Cotham School @Justice4Cotham]

Couldn’t agree more. Always always take proper legal advice.

[Justice for Cotham School @Justice4Cotham]

Let’s get this out there. It’s been a long road for Cotham School. Was great news to see they finally did get justice for their playing field.

Press release from Cotham School regarding our Playing Fields at Stoke Lodge

BCC has now officially removed Stoke Lodge (VG29) from the BCC commons register.

@StokeLodgeVG should now be renamed or deleted @WlStoke_Lodge won’t be supported by BCC if they appeal this as it looks like BCC have completely accepted the judgement and complied with the order!

[Cotham School @CothamSchool]

With our Stoke Lodge playing field back, we can once again share it with Bristol schools and clubs! We're also excited the PM, in a meeting with the Lionesses, announced a new PE and sport plan to ensure all young people have equal access to quality activities.

Well said!

[Justice for Cotham School @Justice4Cotham]

Justice is finally served. Well done @CothamSchool

[Justice for Cotham School @Justice4Cotham]

How many times have @WlStoke_Lodge lost now? Public inquiry - lost, JR - lost inspector - lost, section 14 - lost. Jeez people, accept you lost and move on, try working WITH the school rather than against them.

Great thread put in simple terms.

[Justice for Cotham School @Justice4Cotham]

They just can’t help themselves…

[Justice for Cotham School @Justice4Cotham]

How true is this!?

[Justice for Cotham School @Justice4Cotham]

A few things to think about here

[Justice for Cotham School @Justice4Cotham]

Such hypocrisy, it’s beyond belief.

[Justice for Cotham School @Justice4Cotham]

Longish thread, worth a read though.

Dec 2018 we made this. Huge 🙏 to all who stood up for a state school’s right to use their own playing field without harassment. Proud to have played our part documenting many attempts to undermine @CothamSchool & to be vindicated in Inspector’s Report

Clear recommendation from Commons Registration Authority for PROWG committee members (who should act quasi-judicially) to reject TVG:

BREAKING
Independent Inspector recommends Stoke Lodge TVG is rejected on

1) Signage

2) Cause celebre (People knew it was contentious)

Great news for @CothamSchool and huge thanks to everyone who helped us provide vast amounts of evidence on (2)!
