Petition addressed to: Edward Morello, Liberal Democrat MP for West Dorset

Let's win our school back! With every signature, we're proving just how much Leweston matters to everyone.

Reason

Our school is a vital part of the wider Dorset community.

As well as nurturing families from nursery through to Sixth Form, we share Leweston with training athletes, community swim sessions, forest schools, Catholic and Anglican confirmations, community choirs and orchestras, summer clubs, and much, much more.

Losing the school would mean ending the life-changing work which takes place on its grounds and beyond. We have supported our sister school, Jana Jyoti, since 1987, both financially and as an active presence when they've welcomed us biennially in Nepal; Leweston's closure would have a hugely detrimental impact on their pupils' futures. The same applies to the countless charities which Leweston have supported over the years through the generosity and hard work of pupils, parents, and teachers alike.

It's hard to express, or even to imagine, the extent of the repercussions that Leweston's closure would have. Still, with the support of all of our pupils, parents, teachers, alumni, friends, and all those who make up the family that is Leweston, we can prevent this from happening. By signing this petition, you are playing an active role in preserving the future of our school. Thank you.

Why people sign

It is unfair and disheartened

Children should not be forced to leave their school by force.

Children's education should be more important than corporate profit

because there’s a great community and loads of students and staff who deserve to have an education and job whilst staying in a familiar environment with friends and family!!
