Local Sports Review

In the Premier League, in-form Newcastle defeated Crystal Palace 3 nil at Selhurst Park. It could’ve been much worse if it wasn’t for some great saves from keeper Julian Speroni. Despite the loss, The Eagles remain third from bottom thanks to favourable results from the surrounding premier league strugglers.

Crawley Town pulled off an unlikely victory against League One leaders Leyton Orient earning new manager John Gregory his first victory at the club. After falling behind, the Reds recovered to win 3-1

The only other local match played resulted in plenty of goals as Folkstone Invicta beat Crawley Down Gatwick by 8 goals to nil.

Floodlight failure af Whitstable caused Redhill’s match to be postponed Whitstable while Merstham v Burgess Hill and Three Bridges v Sittingbourne and South Park’s match with Hanworth were called off after late pitch inspections

Surrey to Receive £72m for School Places

Surrey to Receive Additional School Funding

Surrey County Council will receive £72 million over three years from the government towards paying for 16,000 extra school places.

Cabinet Member for Schools and Learning Linda Kemeny is pleased as the demand for school places is huge because of the 20% rise in the birth rate.

Surrey hopes to find up to 3,000 places by the start of the next academic year after creating more than 2,800 for this September.

Cabinet Member for Schools and Learning Linda Kemeny said:

“We’re pleased that the government has listened to us. The fact that we’ve been given one of the biggest shares of funding in the country and significantly more than in previous years is recognition of the huge demand we are facing at our high-quality schools following a 20% rise in the birth rate, a surge in numbers that is continuing.”
