Save St Francis of Assisi Primary School from Closure Petition: Signature List Feed http://www.gopetition.com/signatures/save-st-francis-of-assisi-primary-school-from-closure.html Online petition signatures en-us Sat, 25 Apr 2026 01:02 UTC GoPetition RSS Feed Generator Copyright 2026 GoPetition mr scott murray [Signature #716] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/18289961?utm_medium=rss I went to the school and I am now on 5th year, I am just revisiting the page in sadness to look at the signatures and remember the memories I had of my great primary school, houses are being made and are nearly completed and I done my work experience at the neighbouring school, having to look at the place where my education was given to such a high level, turned to social rented housing. I have succeeded in 4th year exams and I am on track fr 5th year, all because of the encouragement I received from the teachers. To Mrs Mc bride our head teacher, a lovely woman who brought passion of learning along with the rest of the teaching staff. The school had a homely feel and everybody knew everybody, with the highest test scores in the area as well. I will never forget the school and the memories and how it funded my love for learning and how it has gave me a great opportunity in life. To anyone reading this, especially if teaching staff, contact me it would be nice to get in touch! -Scott Murray 5th year at St Maurices, P7 at time of closure.

Many many happy memories where had at this school and I feel it is the wrong decision to close it down.

Refer to my letter to Mike Russell MSP, Education Minister. I will put Karen Eadie in touch with Cornerstone who are seeking premises for more faith related education and also our local Mesjid group who may require temporary accommodation. Both probably can contribute some funding.

As a Newly Qualified Teacher (who left a successful career in nursing following the 'Teach in Scotland' campaign) with no job prospects, I can't believe the government are not looking at how this disastrous situation can be reversed. I know many NQTs who have moved countries to get work or have gone back to previous careers - what a waste of government money!!!

Also NLC Is spending hundreds of pounds on Blackwood Roundabout getting redun when it only got refurbished in the summer of 2009! So i think you need to rethink this pompus asumption that this school needs shut down!!!!!!SAVE THIS SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!

Miss Dempsey - back in the 80's - built this school up, helping it to be the success it is today. A disgraceful proposal.
