What the petition asks
This school has been going through a consultation to close the school on educational grounds, even tho they have a "GOOD" ofsted report.We want to keep the school open as the children are doing so well at all different levels of learning.The village and the community needs and wants this school here
This school has been going for many many years and hopefully will be going for many more. The teaching at this school is outstanding, the children are like an extended family they are so close. They all help each other. The village would lose its heart if they lost the school, we only have a church, a hall and the school and if anyone of them was to go it would break the chain between them.

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
