this is a small school in the heart of our community where every child is known individually by each teacher unlike larger schools there is more time for each childs education. with long serving teachers who really do care and support our children with anything they need or do . If this school shuts there will be around 300 childrens education jeopardised . we only need 30 more year 6's to join us in september and the school will stay open . Please give Burnholme a chance and give your child the care and support in their education that they deserve IF THIS SCHOOL CLOSES NEARBY SECONDARY SCHOOLS HAVE SAID THEY ARE ALREADY FULL STATISTICS SHOW AN INCREASE IN YEAR 7 STUDENTS FROM 2015 IF CLOSURE HAPPENS IN 2014 LOCAL SCHOOLS WILL DEFINITELY BE OVERCROWDED DO YOU WANT YOUR CHILD TO TRAVEL ACROSS YORK TO A SCHOOL WITH PLACES ? WHERE WILL CHILDREN FROM DERWENTHORPE DEVELOPMENT BE CRAMMED INTO ? TO KEEP BURNHOLME OPEN WOULD GUARANTEE PLACES FOR YOUR CHILDREN.........please help by signing this !!!!!

I spent the entire morning staring at the local news reports about student overcrowding and honestly it just makes my head spin thinking about all these kids having nowhere to go. People keep stopping me at the shop to ask if there is any news yet and I really wish I had something better to say than just waiting for a call that never seems to come. It feels like such a long road but I am still here at my desk writing letters to anyone who will listen because our children deserve so much better than this.

I honestly cannot believe how many people are standing up for Burnholme right now because it gives me real hope that we might actually stop this madness. Seeing all these names pouring in makes me feel like maybe they actually have to listen to us instead of just locking the doors and pretending none of this matters.

Burnholme is the heart of our community. Please dont do this to our children.

My son went here and he thrived because of the smaller classes. You cant just shut a school that works for kids who struggle in those massive environments. Keep it open for the local families.

Ridiculous idea. Where are all these kids supposed to go if this shuts? The other schools are packed already. Think about the travel time for the kids living round here.
