All schools teach languages which if we are lucky we may get to use. To learn and develop sign language would open more doors than you could imagine. Most people know someone who has hearing problems/deafness not everyone knows someone with their chosen second language Doesn't it make sense to learn and promote sign language in schools. Even in a noisy environment work or concerts etc sign language can be very beneficial. Please support this petition Thank you

Many students have struggled during their academic years and struggled to turn to someone for help. For us, students of Bolton University and of a variety of art courses we had always found our lecturers to be there for each individual student and support them consistently through any and every obstacle during their time of studying. Now to sadly hear that these wonderful people are losing their jobs, we would like to return the favor and to help keep them in a place where they love what they do and help so many during their toughest times.

It is both unfair and unsafe to expect students to wear the prescribed uniform which includes black blazers, ties and tights, in spells of hot weather. The relaxing of these items is In order to promote health and wellbeing and to maximise concentration levels amongst students. This is practiced within all major uniformed associations such as military and emergency services. Guidance should also be observed by NHS England http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/Summerhealth/Pages/Heatwave.aspx After a short and frank discussion this morning with the Headteacher on this issue, my suggestions were met with a degree of negativity. Whilst a decision was made to relax the uniform with an impending high of 29 degrees C, comments were made to suggest there have been no complaints from either Parents or Students, one which I aim to prove is not the case. Therefore, I would like to call on all Parents and Guardians who have children at this school to support this petition and ensure a fair and safe policy is adopted. Contrary to comments posted on social media by the school, yesterday is believed to be the first time the uniform was officially relaxed through a notification to all staff from the Head Teacher, bizarrely this was after pressure on FB and my face to face conversation with the Head. I am not in search of glory, but it needs to be made clear this was down to pressure, which this petition further enhances. Thank you all in advance😉

High temp causes children to become lethargic. It also causes head aches, dizzesness, confusion, loss of appetite, a feeling of sickness, cramps, higher BP and pulse, Heat exhaustion can lead to full blown heat stroke. What is the point of making our children ill when they can't learn anything due to feeling so bad due to the heat. We need to put our children's health first. Our weather is changing due to climate change every year. It's going from one extrem to another. From bitter cold to torrential rain. Now we are starting to get hit by the heat for weeks on end.

As parents/carers of children at Drayton Green Primary School we are writing to you to express our dismay and concern over the forthcoming strike action on 20/21 June and potential further dates. Whilst we appreciate the complexities of the situation and the difficulties both sides face, we don't understand why it appears that the governors are not communicating with the school community.   The school community would like the Governing Body to hold an information meeting before the end of the academic year so that we can understand your concerns, what investigations are taking place and what outcomes you hope to achieve.  The school community need reassurance that their concerns matter and that the Governing Body will listen to them.  By not sharing any information to date, many are making the assumption that there is nothing to discuss as decisions regarding academy status for the school have already been made. We are also asking that this petition is recognised as a formal complaint for allowing the situation to reach a point where our children are now being denied schooling. Yours sincerely Drayton Green Primary School Parents & Carers

To make sure poorer students who cant access the internet or people that cant access the internet due to living in a rural area which is a common issue in Norfolk. Also many students use their planners as a way of staying organised. sending messages straight to parents cuts out the student which breaks Diss High Schools core value of respect to everyone in school also sending messages straight to parents makes students less independent

At the moment the current course size that will occupy this room in september is not legally allowed to use the studio room 350 as a group. This goes against the point of providing a studio and is very detrimental to the course and the students education. Unless the studio is remodelled or more studio space allocated there is no way the course can function with this many students.

Peterborough Diocese Educational Trust (PDET) have just informed us that they want to close our village school. This has just been communicated a number of weeks before the end of term. Their proposal is to bus our little ones to the other side of Stamford! The educational welfare of our children is more important than being 'financially viable'. We cannot be forced in to a new school selection just because PDET have chosen to announce this so late.

It has been about 5 years now since course fees rose to £9000 and so Students who are leaving university now with degrees have debts of around £40,000 ( £50,000 plus if they've done a 4-year course such as an Integrated Masters degree which are especially common in science) Students will barely be paying off the interest when they work as this will be £200 to £300 per month. Presumably their debt will grow further if they are unable to pay back even the interest because they are in low-paid jobs.

Having unrestricted access to library services will enable us to complete our dissertations on time.

Wensum Lodge was once well-known as a thriving Norfolk County Council-run arts hub for the Eastern region. It is still the only place in the region, and certainly in Norwich, to offer accredited qualifications in many of the creative courses run there. These are all due to be cut in September 2017, with only 3 months notice. The recent numerous managerial staff changes and funding squeezes have caused problems at the Lodge, which might be ameliorated were they able to attract more paying students - something which they can do if their online presence and communications strategy improved, and if they continued along the accreditation route. Current students enrolled on courses at Wensum Lodge are often making career changes, or are developing skills in the creative industries which they then plan to use to undertake freelance work - all of which add to the creative life of the city. The value of hosting accredited courses is significant: they are instrumental in training individuals that have allowed our region to develop a strong reputation for the creative arts, and they facilitate the development of careers in those areas. This makes a positive impact on multiple levels: for the creative economy of the area - financial and reputational, not to mention the mental health of students taking these courses. Cutting courses that are poorly advertised and administered makes very little sense when the courses themselves are highly subscribed. On a practical level, some classes could be relocated to more appropriate providers, but the arts courses that are offered cannot. For example, the nearest places offering accredited Ceramics courses were in London, and then almost exclusively in the northwest of the UK. What Wensum Lodge should be doing is investing in publicity and learning support networks (computing, and online presence, amongst other things) in order to encourage more paying students rather than cutting classes that are popular and a valid part of the Eastern region's creative artistic ecosystem.

This is an international problem, which met with an international solution - and Britain must join the international condemnation of America's terrible, selfish decision. We do not want to live in a world dominated by bullies. We do not want to live in a Britain too scared to do anything America doesn't want. We demand leadership that makes us proud to be British. If Theresa May cannot condemn America's decision to condemn our planet, will she ever stand up for anything? British people stand up for others, and we stand up for what we believe in. We do not want a Prime Minister who licks the boots of the American president. Theresa May must show strong leadership and sign the international letter condemning Donald Trump and his abandonment of the Paris agreement.
