What happens to our RC Primary schools and need for a Secondary Catholic School in Aberdeen, UK

Aberdeen City Council is conducting a feasibility study to either close down the Catholic Primary Schools (St.Peter RC, St.Joseph RC and Holy Family RC primary) or continue letting it be a denominational school in Aberdeen. 

It is also addressing the possibility of having a Secondary Catholic School. 

We need at least 500 signatures to show there is enough support for denominational primary and secondary schools in Aberdeen

*Kindly fill this form and save the future of Catholic schools in Aberdeen*

Please say yes to *Secondary Catholic School* by signing here to show your support.

Why is this important?

We need Aberdeen City Council to help it's many denominational communities including Christians, Catholics, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists and other faith based communities who send their kids to Catholic Schools. It affects a lot of locals who historically sent their kids to these schools, as well as ethnic minorities of Aberdeen. 

We need a secondary school to continue helping the kids who studies in RC primaries to continue friendships and their school values.

Thank you for your support and love.

Our signed petition has reached the decision-makers in Aberdeen City Council. However, we still need to persevere. On June 7th, we will officially hand over the petition.

The Aberdeen City Council has responded. They would not close the schools. However, they did not specify what exactly they intended to do with the buildings, which they had previously declared unfit for use as schools.

We still are not sure what their plans are. There is a lot of disinformation going around, and they removed their previous offensive comments about the fates of our denominational schools.

Yet, we cannot stop. We need assurances and answers. We also need to know if the Secondary school plan will go ahead and if the council will let the schools remain where they are. If they are planning to move even one of the schools to another area, would that serve the wider community?

Kindest Regards,
Elizabeth Spencer

We urge everyone to share this widely. It also has the feasibility study link from Aberdeen City Council that needs to be filled.

We are teaming up with Aberdeen Ethnic Minority Women's Group (www.abdn-emwomen.org.uk) to campaign our cause, because the move to close down the school would effect Aberdeen's ethnic minorities.
