Save Our Schools - Sign the Petition!

Labour’s Education Secretary announced in October that nationally, 44 new free school applications approved and awarded funding by the last Conservative Government had been paused and were now under a review process to see whether they would be scrapped or allowed to continue.

Of the 44, four of the applications were in Derbyshire and these include:

  • The Avenue CE Primary, Wingerworth
  • Bolsover 6th Form (North Derbyshire University Academy), Bolsover
  • Infinity Park Spencer Academy, Nr Sinfin, South Derbyshire
  • New House Farm CE Primary, Nr Mickleover, South Derbyshire

You can find out more about our reaction to the news and the work we're doing to try to save the new schools here. If you support this work and want the Labour Government to think again on any of these four projects, then we need your help. Please sign the petition below! We'll submit the petition to the Government in early January 2025 before they're due to make their final decision.
