We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to stop the closure of Falmer High School in Brighton & Hove and hold a ballot to decide if an Academy is what the community wants. More details
Submitted by Sheila Walker – Deadline to sign up by: 02 September 2008 – Signatures: 207
Please stop the closure of the already improving Falmer High school in Brighton & Hove only to replace it with an Academy that will specialise in entrepreneurship and sport. Keep Falmer High School as a state comprehensive run by education professionals and not a wealthy businessman with no educational background. Allow the school to continue to improve and enable the staff to continue to do their jobs to a high standard under the leadership of the Head. A ballot across the Brighton and Hove community would provide evidence that an academy is NOT actually wanted.
