The council has finally agreed to open the extra class for our children. I am absolutely drained by this fight but relieved that our kids will have a place in their own community. We must stay watchful to ensure they actually follow through on this promise.
We the undersigned demand that Thurrock Council provide enough reception school places for four and five year old children who currently live in Chafford Hundred by opening an additional class in the academic year beginning September 2007.
Furthermore, we demand that Thurrock Council fulfils its statutory duties and obligations by forward planning and then taking all the necessary actions to ensure that the current and future generations of young children growing up on Chafford Hundred are provided with school places in the Chafford area.
The fight for our children's school places is exhausting but the numbers keep rising as more families join us. We need to push for these final signatures before we demand action from the council again.

The council remains silent and ignores our emails but we are still here and not going anywhere. People are exhausted chasing these school places while their children have nowhere to go. I am spending my evenings documenting these stories so the officials cannot keep turning a blind eye to our reality.

Get the extra class opened asap. The local kids really need it and it makes no sense to send them elsewhere when the space here could be used

This council never plans for the future. They keep building houses but forget people have kids that need schools! Sort it out.

My son has to travel way out of the area just for reception. It is ridiculous that we cant get a place where we actually live.
