Suffolk has 40 Middle schools, which are there to provide a link between primary school and secondary schools.  They provide education to the 9 - 13 age group, and covers the progression through Key Stages 2 and 3 in the National Curriculum.

Following the vote on Thursday 22nd February 2007, Suffolk County Council is now preparing to replace middle schools and the three-tier system with a county-wide two-tier structure, to tie in with the education provided in the rest of the country.

Patricia O'Brien is the county councillor responsible for education and is over-seeing the transformation. £23 million will be spent on the process of assessing the scheme, but many parents are against the proposed alterations.

Councillor O'Brien appeared on BBC Radio Suffolk's Breakfast Show on Tuesday 16 January to discuss the issue with presenter Mark Murphy and parents from across the county. A 5000 strong petition was handed in to Endeavour House on the same day, signed by people concerned at the changes in the Suffolk education system.
