• Ban expensive customised school uniforms in favour of simple widely available alternatives
    While school uniform is an important part of school life and community, many school uniforms are so expensive that many families are spending hundreds of pounds per child which puts tremendous and unnecessary strain on lots of families.

  • Stop Leveraging Students with RBS Debt
    Because with student debt rising at an unsustainable rate, the next generation will be even less likely to afford their own home. Their health will suffer. Universities are profiteering and not delivering value. Many Universities are in debt. The young are paying for their and the Governments mis-management

  • Start a Space Cadet Force
    This will help young people to develop important life skills and pride in themselves, but through a non-military pathway. It will encourage them to look to the future and strive for excellence in a broad range of learning challenges. It will create new relationships as "esprit de corps" develops, and give participants confidence through a "start in life" that so many need in our uncertain world.

  • Continue the Dolly Parton Imagination Library in Doncaster
    Over the last 4.5years my eldest son has received some fantastic books from the Dolly Parton Imagination Library. This has not only enhanced his love of books and stories but has encouraged him to begin to learn to read before starting school. As a parent, I think it is a great shame that such a wonderful scheme that has enabled many children to access literature, is set to close in September. Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library of United Kingdom is a free book gifting organisation devoted to inspiring a love of reading in the hearts of children everywhere. Each month, enrolled children receive a high quality, age appropriate book in the post, free of charge. Children receive books from birth to age five. This means my other children will never know the joy of these free monthly books, or get to share the joy of reading future wonderful stories with parents and grandparents alike. This will mean families across Doncaster will not have future access to books that land on their door step every month.

  • Reinstate year 8 vocational subjects at Stanley Park School
    Children who find academic work challenging now have fewer option choices for vocational subjects which is discriminatory. For children looking to take vocational subjects in year 9, their options are now dance or home cooking. Any children hoping to pursue a career in any technical subject after secondary school, these option are of very little help. Forcing children in to subjects they show little vocation for will be an unwarranted distraction to schooling if the other children on these courses.

  • Dyslexia assesments to be mandatory in primary schools.
    Students are reaching university not knowing they're dyslexic and not getting the support they need. Grades would significantly improve, for example I get A's in my exams and D's in my written assigment making me pass, however if I'd of recognised my dyslexia sooner I would of done better. Students have sued the council for school's not testing them, this is because schools are meant to recognise it and continue to fail. I therefore believe this clearly isn't enough as so many go without diagnoses and support.

  • St Augustine's School Expansion Solihull
    Some of the main concerns are: - The current situation caused by the build up of excessive traffic in the area dropping off and picking up from four schools already leads to minute-by-minute infringements of the parking regulations and inconsiderate / illegal / dangerous driving manoeuvres. - The traffic in the roads near St Augustine’s school is often at a standstill at peak times twice per day, and the plan proposes to double the amount of traffic. - The neighbourhood already faces the danger of a serious accident caused by this traffic. - Many houses are already at risk of being inaccessible by Ambulance, Fire Services, or Police during peak times. - Residents feel trapped inside their homes twice a day, especially at pickup time when thoughtless driving and parking is combined with abusive parents. - The proposed plan will double the number of cars visiting the school during each 'school run'. We believe that nearly 70% of parents at St Augustine’s live outside the area and travel by car this will increase the traffic from just this one school by at least 150 cars twice a day. - This volume of traffic and emissions has serious health implications for all the children at the four schools as well as the residents living nearby. - Despite the scientific evidence supporting the dangers of air pollution, some parents sit with their engine’s running whatever time of year. - The plan is intended to support children moving into semi-rural (relatively light traffic) areas of the borough by attracting them into the centre of town. This cannot be sustainable. Surely it is better to build another small school where the need is rather than bring people from miles around. - The three main roads leading from the schools campus - Widney Lane, Monkspath Hall Road, and Blossomfield Road each can have queues up to 10 minutes during the 'school run'. - An additional annual 120,000+ of car mileage and the noxious emissions resulting is likely to be incurred in transporting children to and from school as compared to a school based in Tidbury Green or Blythe Valley. - The acceptance of an initial increase of 210 children is likely to have a further knock-on effect when those children need to moving to the 'next-door' school - St. Peter's.
