On Thursday 23rd April we occupied the school roof of Lewisham Bridge Primary School to express our anger at the forced and unnecessary busing of our children to an alternative site while our school stands empty.
Within a few hours of starting our occupation we received widespread coverage from the BBC, the Evening Standard and London Lite as well as messages of support from Save our Schools Glasgow, Visteon workers, Prisne workers in Dundee and various NUT branch secretaries from around the country, to name but a few.
Hands off Lewisham Bridge needs the support of all parents and anyone else who wants to fight to save our school. If you want to get involved come to our public meeting this afternoon:
PUBLIC MEETING
Lewisham Bridge School
Elmira Street
Cornmill Gardens SE13
3.00pm Friday 24th April
From that meeting we will march to Lewisham Town Hall to demand the re-opening of our school.
