Please scroll down to sign the petition. Petition summary and background: The Schools Adjudicator has recently made a ruling that Rugby schools review their admission's policy. The likely outcome of this would mean that children from Northamptonshire, Leicestershire, Coventry and some Warwickshire locations currently included in the Admissions criteria could find it harder or even impossible to go to the Rugby school of their choice. The new arrangements are likely to commence from September 2010 and will affect the present year 5 children and below.Your children will then have little opportunity to have the choice of attending one of the Rugby schools. A local group called 'Choices for Children' has been set up to challenge this proposal. We believe that the current admission's arrangements for Rugby Schools should stay as they are so that parents in Northamptonshire, Leicestershire, Coventry and part of Warwickshire can continue to choose which secondary school they would like their children to attend. We therefore urge you to sign below in support of our position. THANK YOU Any Enquiries please e-mail [email protected] 'FAIR ACCESS TO EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL CHILDREN' We, the undersigned, protest in the strongest possible terms to the proposed changes to the admission's process in Warwickshire and oppose the ruling by the School's Adjudicator.

I honestly never thought we would reach one hundred signatures this quickly. It is truly humbling to see so many people care about our children having these educational choices. You are the ones who made this happen.

Fix this mess. Kids deserve the best school regardless of what county they happen to live in.

Ridiculous to change things now when families have already planned their kids futures around these schools. Leave it alone.

My son is in year 4 and this is seriously stressing us out. Stop punishing kids who live just over the county line.

We moved here specifically for the school access. This is so unfair to all the families affected.

Education should be about the child not lines on a map. Keep the catchment areas as they are.

TOTAL RUBBISH. They are taking away options for no good reason.
