Exeter PFI schools

how is that councillors and our MP go on about the situation with regard to the Northcott and yet seem to have absolutely nothing at all to say about the appalling situation at ISCA PFI High school, and I am sure that the other schools also have there 'teething problems'.Your reporter, Kerra Maddern, last week gave us the situation over the leaking roof at ISCA. Now Exeter City Council, the Fire Brigade and Devon County Council have all signed certificates to the effect that the schools are fit for purpose, and we are, after all, meeting the bills for them. So, rather than get all uppity about the Northcott maybe Ben Bradshaw would like to tell us, after all the meetings which were meant to have been held last year, what exactly is he doing about these schools and in particular ISCA High.Finally, I hope that the school kitchens have been designed and built to be able to teach all the pupils how to cook because the last thing I want to hear is how much money will have to be spent to facilitate this new government policy. It is bad enough that none of the schools seem to have any wind turbines nor solar panels so will we add the kitchens to the litany of disasters at these most expensive schools.

Griff22 comments about the PFI have hit the nail on the head. ALL of the 6 PFI schools are unfit for purpose and for some unknown reason ISCA is the worst hit. Take the boundary fencing as a good example. All the other schools have been ringfenced with adequate Palisade steel fencing and ISCA has chicken wire along the rear of the school which already shows signs of illegal entry into the school.
None of the schools have been provisioned with adequate lightning protection systems and adequate fire proofing.
The schools have been incured huge costs to rectify known faults such as heating and ventilation and Ben Bradshaw doesn;t give a damn
