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.

Seeing two hundred and fifty names on this list is truly overwhelming. I started this because I care about our school but it has become so much bigger than that thanks to all of you.

I have been reading through all your comments and I am truly humbled by the passion you have for our local school. This effort belongs to every one of you who spoke up to protect our children and their future.

I honestly never expected that over one hundred people would feel this strongly about our little school. It has been overwhelming to see so many neighbors speak up for the community. This belongs entirely to all of you who cared enough to step forward.

It's very short sighted closing such a very good school, when most of the local schools are full. I would think the cost of keeping this open would be less than the money spent on transport and purchasing mobiles in other schools to accommodate the pupils.

It is very short sighted to consider closing this school at a time when huge housing growth is going on in the locality. Even 24 houses in the very village itself. Short term support and a long term strategy is needed to secure the school and children's future

This school has has really helped my eldest son, who was really struggling to contribute and to learn at his previolus school, whereas now he is at or above target on all subjects. - quite a turnaround in 13 months.

I went to this school in the 80s grew up in the village too. Would be such a shame to loose a bit of Norfolk's heritage, my family also were pupils in the 60s & 70s spanning three decades in total, don't close the school invest instead!

This is a brilliant school which needs to be kept open , as children need a good education and have the right to go to a local school.
