Shepton School to become a Primary School

19th May 2009

It has just been anounced the Adjudicator HAS AGREED THE PROPOSAL!

From 1st September 2009 Shepton Beauchamp First School will become a PRIMARY SCHOOL!! We've done it -in the face of enormous odds - we have done it. The Adjudicator's Determination - which is ten pages long - a very balanced, well researched and clear paper; Dr Passmore really understood the situation and has done her best for the area education plan.

The Governors would like to thank everyone for their support and I am sure the whole village would like to thank the Governors for all their work in ensuring we retain the education of our children where it belongs, at the heart of our community.

Thieves Vandalise our Church Roof

Damage to St Michael's Shepton Beauchamp During the night of Sunday 26th April 2009 thieves/vandals stole lead from a subsidiary roof on the north side of St Michael's Shepton Beauchamp. In the process several stones were dislodged and have fallen to the ground from the surrounding parapet. The Police have been informed.

Did you see anything suspicious? if so please let us or the police know.

Photo shows where stones are missing from the parapet the small amount of lead remaining can clearly be seen where it has been ripped from the roof.
