Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

to keep nothease manor up and to help with lack of funding
It’s the best special needs school in the country and it has helped so many people with learning disability and would be a shame if it gets closed

Why it was rejected

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

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about local school provision are a matter for the relevant local authority, not the UK Government or Parliament. We also can't accept petitions which call for actions with regard to named organisations, including schools.

You could raise your issue with a local councillor who represents you. You can find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them, by entering your post code here: https://www.gov.uk/find-your-local-councillors
