Rejected petition Save Misterton C of E First School

Re-evaluate the council's decision to change the current 3 tier school system to a 2 tier system, which will result in the closure of Misterton C of E First School.

More details

Their decision to make this change is based on a 2 million pound deficit that Wadham School have, and by changing the school system they believe that this should stop their debt growing. Misterton C of E First School is a thriving village school and the children get a high level of education there; the council are clearly only looking at the financial side of this, not the educational benefits of all of these young children.
