A village school should stay a village school for
village children.

Does location make it a village school? Does the Village and indeed it's residents pay for the upkeep, does it pay for staff, does it resource the school?

I would support that point IF the village agreed to 100% fund the school and all it requires. As it stands the school is funded like any other school and is "a school" - location alone does not make it a "village school".

The great news is that the proposed site isn't in the village, nor the conservation area. The villagers will potentially get "their" village back, which one assumes they would really welcome given some of the reported issues. Residents further down the Tunstall Road and the surrounding area to the proposed site will potentially have the opportunity to build relationships with the school that haven't really been achieved in recent years at the current site.
