Another of Oakham's Schools is dumping Rutland County Council
English Martyrs Oakham has partnered with St Augustine’s Stamford establishing a Multi-Academy
Trust. the schools are aiming for 1 May 2013 as the completion date.
The built area of English Martyrs RC Primary School is owned freehold by
the Nottingham Diocese however, the playing field land/vehicle drop off is
owned by Rutland County Council.
The School is currently seeking a lease from Rutland County Council for use of that land, Rutland
County Council is set to agree a 125 year lease to the catholic diocese and include a provision for
community use.
Part of the land is already leased and used as a neglected play area by Oakham Town Council
who last week hacked at the school trees, that has resulted in a large bill for Oakham tax payers.
