Closure|28/10/2006|Friday 7 July 2006 was a sad day for both junior and senior girls, staff and parents of Parsons Mead. The school gates have been closed and an eerie silence has settled over the much-loved buildings and gardens. Normal end-of term cries of joy were replaced by tears as the girls in both departments left the school for the last time.
The Senior church service at St Giles was well attended by Old Girls, who found the experience truly moving - the closing chapter of 109 years of history. Numerous Old Girls came back to the school to take photographs as a final reminder of the happy years they spent at the school and for the fine institution that was Parsons Mead. Strong moves have been made to retain school memorabilia as a lasting tribute to the school history - photographs, valuable trophies and other items will be collected and retained while a suitable display site is established. All current girls will be invited to become members of the Old Girls Association by way of a letter to be received soon.
As emotions settle and the summer holidays draw to a close, the Parsons Mead Action Group are more determined than ever that answers to our questions are received and financial compensation is gained. A polite and final request was made to Dame Angela Rumbold to meet with the Parsons Mead Action Group committee with a Mediator, in an attempt to avoid costly court action. A reply was expected before 22 July, none has been forthcoming. We request that you click the link above to see the actions that you can take to help the cause, both with the initiative with the Charities Commission and for Financial Compensation.
