This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament

Rejected petition Keep Forest Boys school a BOYS ONLY school.

As The Forest School is the ONLY BOYS (Secondary) school in and around the area ( Horsham) to help keep it that way.
There are mixed (gender) ( Secondary) schools ( in Horsham and surrounding area , Crawley, ..) As well as an only girls school, so why not keep this an only boys school?

More details

Parents might choose an only boys school for many reasons and as “The Forest School” has in the past been a co-educational School which then converted to Boys only in 1958 WHY convert it back to mix gender?

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

This is a decision for the school and local authority, not the Government or House of Commons.

If you do not want the school to become mixed gender you should raise this directly with the school or West Sussex County Council.

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