ryton may have to close. due to hooker gate closing ryton might have to aswell.
here are the options in more full detail:
Option 1:
To close Hookergate School and transfer the existing pupils to Ryton School; the Council would seek funding for a new state-of-the-art school to replace Ryton on a new site in the Greenside area.
Option 2:
To close both Hookergate and Ryton Schools and open a new secondary school, initially with all pupils on the Ryton site; the Council would seek funding for a new state of the art school to replace Ryton on a new site in the Greenside area. (Although this 2nd option appears to be the same as the 1st, it would mean that all staff and governors would lose their jobs / roles and have to reapply for their positions with no guarantee that they would be reinstated)!
Option 3:
To close Hookergate School and transfer the existing pupils to Ryton School; the Council would seek funding to rebuild or refurbish Ryton School on its existing site.

I went to Hookergate, albeit a long time ago. I would be very sad to see it close.
