The local council are trying to close my daughter's old secondary school, all their excuses for the closure are easily defeated, and they can't answer any sensible questions about the closure. To all appearances, they want to close the school and sell the land off to build houses on - I've heard suggestions that this is to try and 'shore up' their pension funds because they have spend lot's of money from it.
Deincourt isn't a highly successful school full of clever kids, most are well below average, and Deincourt take the ones that the other local schools are failing as well. They provide an excellent education, even for the lowest of the children, and the higher ones are well looked after as well. My daughter left there having passed 14 GCSE's, 7 were A's, 3 were A*, and 4 B's, and while there the school sent her to FIVE different universities for trial sessions.
It's a small school, and the teachers know the names of every single pupil there, many of the pupils who moved from the other local schools say that even having been at the other school for three years, not one single teacher even knew their name!.
The kids there are exceptionally well behaved, and the school has the lowest rates of truancy and exclusions in the county.
It's a nice school, and deserves to be saved, so if you're a UK resident, please sign the petition for the prime minister.
Thank you!.
