SOS from SAS - SOS from St Anthony's School - Save Our School - Cinderford, Forest of Dean

Keep St Anthony's Primary School open.

Why is this important?

Because we're a local village school with an amazing history of over 50 years. If the school is closed there will be circa 100 pupils to relocate alongside 5 new local housing estates being built; needing schooling for their children, there will be an extreme shortage of primary school places in the local vicinity. The children are proud to be St Anthony's children so please help save our school.

£750,000 of taxpayers money has just been spent on external repairs which whilst looking great now, caused lots of disruption to the pupils with it being a live building site during the works that finally completed - just days before the school Head being summoned to London to announce thought of closure.

How it will be delivered

The school are planning a march from school into the centre of Cinderford on Friday 9th February at 1:45pm to finish at the clock tower to post the letters and petition to the Department for Education. Please join us if you can.

Dear All, unfortunately we lost the fight and St Anthony's will be closing on 31st August. To say we are devastated is an understatement but now is all about the children. We need to make sure that they have the most enjoyable final few weeks! Any donations, activities or suggestions would be gratefully received. Thank you to you all for your support.
