]]> Mon, 10 Dec 2012 04:40:43 UTC 14219274 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/13517839?utm_medium=rss Due too lack of school places I have to take two of my children to separate schools and get there on time even though it's a twenty min walk between schools.

]]> Fri, 10 Aug 2012 06:05:40 UTC 13517839 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/13511574?utm_medium=rss The local government, must seriously reconsider how school places are organised

]]> Thu, 9 Aug 2012 05:28:13 UTC 13511574 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/13511475?utm_medium=rss This is a totally unfair system that affects all the children of the city, this system even goes against it's own policy of every child counts how can this be when so many of our children are affected and aren't these children supposed to be the future foundation of this supposed great city come on councillors and mps this is your quote live upto your quote live up to it actions speak louder than words.

]]> Thu, 9 Aug 2012 05:03:15 UTC 13511475 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/13386655?utm_medium=rss Stop messing with kids education.

]]> Mon, 23 Jul 2012 09:33:51 UTC 13386655 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/13346019?utm_medium=rss children should never be shunted out from schools theyve already settled into and made friendships, especially not to simply accomodate people who have just moved into the area its disgustingly unfair on both child siblings and parents

]]> Tue, 17 Jul 2012 08:56:24 UTC 13346019 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/13339903?utm_medium=rss Although this no longer affects me I still think its wrong. Its bad enough when the are going into high school

]]> Mon, 16 Jul 2012 02:01:50 UTC 13339903 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/13337339?utm_medium=rss Education is the most important factor for the development of the person and society. As the population expands so should the education sector at all levels. Instead education provision is being cut. Funding grants are diminishing and people are now having to fight for an education ...from Primary School age........the 21st century...getting back to the early 19th where position and money were the only way to ensure an education, this is shameful.

]]> Mon, 16 Jul 2012 04:25:51 UTC 13336671 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/13336238?utm_medium=rss I fully support this petition, this is a common occurance in many LA areas around the country, particularly in areas that still have a Grammar School system where local primaries may be seen as 'feeder' schools.

]]> Fri, 13 Jul 2012 09:16:09 UTC 13317891 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/13317542?utm_medium=rss I full support the petition and believe the government should be doing its upmost to provide quality schooling for children from a wide range of socioeconomic groups.

]]> Fri, 13 Jul 2012 05:55:49 UTC 13316868 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/13316734?utm_medium=rss My child has not been allocated a school despite him attending our pre school for a year he is the only one out of nursery not to get a place as the boundary was changed mid year and we are now 10 houses out of catchment yet children who live further away are classed as in catchment because of the way the shape of the boundary has changed! We now have to go to a school that is only classsed as satisfactory when he has been attending an outstanding school. If children gain a place at a pre school they should automatically move up with their class to reception save all the heartache and stress to the child my little boy is distraught and as a parent I can do nothing to change this my appeal was unsuccesful! Absolutely disgusting!!!

Disgraceful. Will anyone act on this injustice or just turn a blind eye as usual?

]]> Fri, 13 Jul 2012 04:07:12 UTC 13316452 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/13316132?utm_medium=rss It is extremely sad that children are being made to suffer and miss out on key education because there arent enough schools now to accommodate the children because the council have pulled most of the half decent ones down.

]]> Fri, 13 Jul 2012 02:23:33 UTC 13316132 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/13312488?utm_medium=rss i personally have not had any issue with or problems with the school addmissions for my children but i do know friends and friends of friends that it has affected them. this is the only reason i'm signing the petition

]]> Tue, 10 Jul 2012 06:22:26 UTC 13285781 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/13285680?utm_medium=rss I support this.

]]> Tue, 10 Jul 2012 06:02:58 UTC 13285680 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/13285155?utm_medium=rss More schools

]]> Tue, 10 Jul 2012 04:22:40 UTC 13285155 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/13285110?utm_medium=rss Having had friends & family experience similar problems i feel this situation should be addressed & someone accept some sort of responsibility asap, the children are the ones who are suffering, although young this is a very important & daunting experience without the added pressure of uncertanty.

]]> Tue, 10 Jul 2012 04:10:35 UTC 13285110 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/13284776?utm_medium=rss I think the system is flawed as many local children who's parents have grown up in the area are not getting places in school at the expense of kids who are new to the area for whatever reasons??

]]> Tue, 10 Jul 2012 02:59:36 UTC 13284776 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/13281493?utm_medium=rss Mon, 9 Jul 2012 04:24:25 UTC 13281493 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/13277682?utm_medium=rss My son never got in any of his prefered schools and was allocated one that I specifically didnt chose and for good reason, dispite him already attending the school I chose he didnt get in!! The system stinks and the criteria rules need reviewing FAST! Why knock 3 perfectly good schools down in my area leaving 750 kids with no school and NO chance of winning a school appeal even with proof of maladministration. This is damn right cruel and to our children, how do we explain to them they can no longer go to school with their peers, of which they have spent the last 12 months building friendships with! The education system in the country has gone mad!! Every child has a right to a decent education. Why are we given the option to chose a prefered school when in fact we dont have a choice and the LEA response to this is "Tough" you get what your given" This just IS NOT good enough especially for the children that havent been allocated ANY school at all. WISE UP BRITAIN AND GET THIS TOP OF THE AGENDA AND GET IT SORTED!! These kids are our future and they are the ones that will be running the country when we are drawing our pensions! Give them the education they deserve!

]]> Mon, 9 Jul 2012 08:40:49 UTC 13277682 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/13276565?utm_medium=rss Unfair

]]> Mon, 9 Jul 2012 06:05:36 UTC 13276565 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/13276484?utm_medium=rss I feel that the school/council need to admit there has obviously been a fault with the website and start again with the applications to be fair to all children and parents as this would surely prove to be less disruptive to the children who are being forced to change schools at a crucial stage of their social development. They need to get these things right for the sake of the childrens continuity and well being and forget about trying to save face by denying there has been a fault in this system. Simply have some common sense.

]]> Mon, 9 Jul 2012 05:51:04 UTC 13276484 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/13276462?utm_medium=rss I agree totally with the above - the system is not working and some other way should be agreed with all parties including parents - so it is a fair system for all which it is not a present.

]]> Mon, 9 Jul 2012 05:45:32 UTC 13276462 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/13272969?utm_medium=rss Sun, 8 Jul 2012 03:05:29 UTC 13272969 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/13272927?utm_medium=rss Sun, 8 Jul 2012 02:59:59 UTC 13272927 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/13271694?utm_medium=rss I know of a parent who had issues with her application being lost. It adds more stress to a already stressful situation.

]]> Sun, 8 Jul 2012 11:28:58 UTC 13271694 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/13257639?utm_medium=rss I feel the selection process has been selected unfairly and parents have been penalised due to the selection process crashing!

]]> Fri, 6 Jul 2012 09:45:05 UTC 13257639 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/13256745?utm_medium=rss Fri, 6 Jul 2012 07:33:44 UTC 13256745 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/13256695?utm_medium=rss I think that the government should take a long hard look at the schooling process. I may sound extreme but children can suffer a lot mentally in the future by being passed from school to school. Purely because the government don't know what they are doing!! It's not fair and a disgrace!!

]]> Fri, 6 Jul 2012 07:23:04 UTC 13256695 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/13256476?utm_medium=rss My online application seemingly crashed/was lost & as a result my son has not been given a place at the school I applied for, which I might add he already attends. My appeal was refused due to class size, which is a joke. Why ask parents to go through the stress of an appeal when clearly the parent has no chance against the biased system!? The issues I highlighted were not taken into consideration, even though I had further proof of their poor management of administration & a witness to say I did submit the form. Their arguement was, that I hadn't pressed submit! Although I was successful and fully capable to register myself on their system, they strongly suggested that I'm not computer literate enough to press SUBMIT!?? I am very distressed about the online application process & feel it has let me & my son down in a big way! There are no provisions in place for the system letting parents & children down. A cap should be put on how far people are travelling to school & where demand calls for it, build enough schools to accomodate those children in the areas that need it! Once you apply to a school you should automatically have a place there regardles of age. Makes sense!
