What the petition asks
To open a free school in Redditch. Called First Chance Primary.
A school that is not run by the local council but is still funded by the government.
By not following the national curriculum we can set lessons the children want, for the children who don't fit into the traditional mainstream school.

Redditch doesn't have a free school already.
There are more and more children not getting into the school they want because the schools are become oversubscribed.
We want to open a school to suit the children, with a higher ratio of staff per children.
we need the support of everyone within the community so please sign this petition to show that it is needed within the town.
