Why do we not have a secondary school in Huccleote?

As I think about the links for information that people who are new to Hucclecote might look for, one that springs to mind is a secondary school. Then I realise that it is almost that time of year again with the 1st March looming. That's the date when families receive the letter that tells them which school their secondary school age child goes to. No pressure then.
Then I think about the provision that we have in the village for those children aged 11 years and older. That would none. Not at all. Back in the 1980's we had Hucclecote Secondary Modern but it was closed. You can see it still in Churchdown Lane.
So, these days, rather than our children wandering or cycling up to the local school, they get bussed out, driven in, put on a train, longer days than they need etc, because of a lack of local , and I mean local, provision.
Seems like madness but also a shame.
