Rejected petition Local Secondary Schools for Claygate Children.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. Allocation of school places is the responsibility of your local educational authority (usually your local council).

You could raise your issue with a local councillor, who represents you. You can use the following page to find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them:

Your local council may also have a petitions process. You should be able to find details of this on its website.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
