SIR: Anybody who saw the television programme about our own Canon Slade School will understand what an excellent school it is. We should all be very proud of its achievements as they reflect positively on the town.
What a pity that New Labour intends to destroy Canon Slade by abolishing its chosen grant-maintained status and return it to the local authority control. Parents in Bolton should look behind the New Labour soundbites and see precisely what it proposes to do in Government.
