I am honestly shaking because the decision to close Beardwood is officially off the table and they actually listened to us for once. It still feels kind of surreal that those 349 of us managed to stop this mess but we really did it and I just need everyone to …

We, the undersigned wish to record our disgust at the Consultation process for the closure of Beardwood Humanities College as part of BSF, as we were misled and not told the truth about the consequences for our children. We call on the authorities to rescind their decisions to close our school which is improving, in favour of schools that are not performing so well. We do not want to lose the expertise of local teachers & staff. We call on the Minister to reconsider the application of the school to become an Academy. We also support an application for a successor free school or studio school so that our children’s futures can be enhanced & protected.

My daughter loves this school and has finally started getting good grades. Why destroy a place that is actually helping these kids?

Seems like they only want to close it because it started doing well. Typical council stuff. Give the kids a chance!

This whole thing is a total joke. They didnt listen to a word the community said from the start. Leave beardwood alone.

Disgraceful. The staff work so hard here. My son is thriving and now they want to pull the rug out from under him?

The consultation was a complete sham and everyone knows it. They had their minds made up before they even talked to us. KEEP BEARDWOOD OPEN.
