Shrewsbury catholic cathedral primary school and nursery is a great school, my kids are so happy there, but recently the new head teacher has decided that the KS2 students are no longer allowed to be part of the nativity or Christmas play, I find this really upsetting as my kids really look forward to being involved.
I realise that this year might be a lost cause, and my son will probably miss out... but hopefully with this petition, with your signature, I can take to the head to persuade her to lift the ban.

I really never thought this would gain this much steam but seeing all of you speak up makes me feel like maybe things can actually change. It is honestly overwhelming to see so many families feeling the exact same way I do about the kids missing out on the play. I have been reading through the comments all morning and it is just wild how much this clearly means to everyone.

My daughter goes to a c of e school and all kids up to age 11 are taking part in nativity. Why stop others? Theres no valid reason
All children, no matter what age at school should be involved in Christmas Nativity. It is essential for all children to understand the importance of The birth of Jesus which is why we celebrate Christmas. We now teach about all other religions, but understanding Christianity comes first. All children look forward to this, so please don't get rid of this time honoured tradition
All primary aged children should be taking part, especially in a faith school! All other primary schools manage to include everyone so why not this one?
They did this in my daughters school too, all the kids were so upset, as were the parents. The school christmas play and the nativity story is a big part of a child's Christmas...not up to the head to decide the children no longer need this part of christmas
Let them in the play... there can always be room for extra sheep or something!!!!
Nativity plays are a big part of christmas for kids,
All children should be allowed to take part in Christmas nativity plays!

For years and years children have participated in Nativity Plays. Their role helps them and their audience to understand it's true meaning. that of Peace, love, acceptance and incluson. Therefore it makes no sense why some of your pupils are excluded from this.
