Save Ashfield School theatre—protect arts, education, and community space.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

We call on the government to save Ashfield School’s theatre—a vital hub for arts, education, and community. The DfE’s plan to remove it ignores its lasting value. We urge support to retain and integrate it into the new development, ensuring future generations benefit from this essential resource.

Step in and save Ashfield School’s theatre, a vital space that nurtures creativity, confidence, and community spirit. The DfE’s plan to remove it as part of redevelopment overlooks its immense value to students and local residents. Preserving the theatre ensures continued access to arts education and performance opportunities. It supports young people’s development and strengthens community ties. We ask that it be retained and integrated into the new school design for future generations.

Why it was rejected

It was about a matter for a local council or devolved government, not the UK Government or Parliament.
