We the undersigned believe that Eccles, Hargham and Wilby Primary School is a unique school serving a rural community, and providing an excellent education to it's pupils. We petition to keep the school open, in the light of predicted population growth and likely shortage of primary school places, the assurances by both the Local Authority and The Church of England to support pupils to achieve excellent results, which Eccles Hargham and Wilby does very well ; and the special considerations (including transportation) that relate to rural schools. We petition the deciding body to continue to keep the school open.
