Protect Our Schools

The government wants to make all schools into academies - schools funded by taxpayers, but run by businesses, sponsors or trusts.

You could start a petition to save your local school if you're a parent who wants a say in the future of the school your kids go to. Maybe your local school is at risk of closure if the government's plans go ahead. Or you might be a teacher willing to lead a campaign to stop your school becoming an academy. If you're a parent governor, you could run a campaign against the government's plans to scrap the role of parent governors.

Hundreds of strong local campaigns to protect schools across the country - including where you live - could put our MPs under enough pressure to drop the plans.

If there's a school in your local area at risk, start a petition here to save it.

  • Don't force Craneswater Juniors to become an academy
    No two schools are alike. But the government doesn't seem to agree. It wants to rush through plans to force every single school in England to become an academy the type of school paid for by taxpayers, but run by businesses, sponsors or trusts. Many teachers and parents are already standing against the plans, saying that they're "a step towards privatisation", ignore local views, and could force some schools to close. One size does not fit all, and local parents and teachers should have a say in the future of our school. ------ If this isn't your local school, click here to sign your local petition, or start one if no-one else has yet: https://secure.38degrees.org.uk/start-a-campaign-for-your-school

  • Brighton
    Don't force Bevendean Primary School to become an academy
    No two schools are alike. But the government doesn't seem to agree. It wants to rush through plans to force every single school in England to become an academy! The type of school that is paid for by taxpayers, but run by businesses, sponsors or trusts. Many teachers and parents are already standing against the plans, saying that they're just one more step towards privatisation! The government will ignore local views and and this privatisation could force some schools to close, as we are also seeing happen with our local Bevendean GP surgery right now! One size does not fit all, and local parents and teachers should have a say in the future of our school.
