Help Paxton Academy get a permanent site after 4 years in temporary portacabins.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Paxton Academy opened in 2014.
The children have been learning in portacabins from the very beginning.
Planning permission has been denied and as a result we are now 4 years in and some children will never get the primary school experience that they deserve
Every effort is been made by the headteacher and governors to get a permanent site for the children but there seems to be issues at every corner!
This is a school of small children who deserve so much more, as do the staff that are expected to teach and maintain a high standard in these conditions .
The local council and government have a duty of care to make sure children are given the best opportunities and best start... they are been failed! Please sign and help us secure our permanent site
