Petition the Government to fund more school places

A PETITION has been launched by parents to help Bristol City Council persuade the Government to hand over more money to provide new primary schools.

Bristol has one of the fastest-growing child populations outside London and needs to provide at least 3,000 extra school places by 2014.

more on this appears here 
you can sign the petition here (pass it on) bit.ly/bccschools

Sign a petition about Cabot School

“As a resident of St Pauls, I believe Cabot Primary School should be prioritised to receive the new school building the Young People deserve.  
The proposed improvements in the School Organisation Strategy do not
sufficiently meet the needs of the school, the Young People or the
community.
 
As my local Councillor I believe you should be pushing for increased funding to be allocated for an entire new building, not just funds to “patch up” the existing building.”

Sign a second petition about Cabot School

As a resident of St Pauls, I believe Cabot Primary School should be
