Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

To be able to fund a new sen school in the West Sussex area Chichester! As so many sen children are not able to start school one because their isn’t enough places in the already existing sen schools and mainstream can’t facilitate our sen children

To enable children who have additional needs to right to be able to go to school that meets their needs give them the right setting for their education . The very few sen schools that are available are at max capacity so why can’t the government provide another school for children with additional needs !
