From next year Matron Wages will be cut significantly, for new unneeded “carers”. Also, there will be only one matron during the night for the entire boarding house. As you know, Matron’s already have great responsibility during the night, and this would just double their work load. Matron’s are people who have helped bring us up and we have grown to trust. They are being almost replaced by a “cost effective” system of young carers, who are students, around 21 years old, who have to take on the responsibility of one of the most demanding jobs in the college, who won’t be able to deal with the vast number of issues matrons sort out every day.

I am currently compiling a list of concerns from students and parents to deliver directly to the administration. Post a link to this petition on your Facebook page and text three friends who have benefited from the care of a matron. Call your school representative today to tell them that our current support system is not replaceable.

The momentum behind this campaign proves that our community recognizes the vital role our matrons play every single day. We have enough energy now to demand a meeting with the administration so email your local representative and tell them why this pay cut is unacceptable.

This is ridiculous. The matrons are the heart of the boarding houses and looking after hundreds of kids is way too much for some 21 year old student to handle. Keep the staff we actually rely on.

My kids have been looked after by the same matrons for years. They actually care about the students. Dont cut their pay just to save a few quid.

Total joke. You cant replace experience like that with cheap labor. Fix this now.
