After the closure of Heathfield Academy in Earl Shilton Leicestershire.
We wonder what is to become of the school,
Rumour has it that there is to be yet another housing estate to be built on the land.
Two local councillors Mrs Janice Richards & Mrs Ruth Camamile have suggested Heathfield be re-opened as a much needed primary/junior school for the area.
Heathfield would be ideal for this, with Heathfield already having its very own swimming pool & large playing fields not to mention the capacity to probably hold to up to 800 +children.
Our intentions are to support & help both the above councillors achieve there aim.
PLEASE sign this petition to help keep Heathfield a school for our future children & to keep a school with so much character & memories alive.
Thank you all for reading & to those that sign the petition ....Thank you

Heathfield should stay, apart from the obvious reasons it's a lovely art deco building with a sixties built new block the like of which we will never see again.
With the amount of building developments that are happening in this area we now more than ever need additional schooling. This building has all the facilities ready to hand. Swimming pool, playing fields, school rooms, canteen, gym etc. To knock it down simply doesn't make financial sense.
3 generations of my family have been educated at Heathfield and have so many very happy memories of our time there. To continue as a school would be the most fitting tribute to both teachers and pupils.
Why has this school closed when the area is very clearly lacking schools ! We don't have enough primary schools to start and where do the children go after that ! Dorothy goodman are also looking to build in a very residential area...this site would be perfect for them. Use this school for what is was built for....a school!
I totally agree with Kerry Muscutt. If the council is going ahead with the new housing, and it would seem work has already started, why are they going to knock down a school to build yet more houses. you need a viable infrastructure to cater for them.
Schools are required for the ever expanding town and nearby villages.
I'm here! Everyone join in! X

It would be fantastic for the school to be turned into an Nursary as well as a infant and jrs school as there are more family's that are living in the area and are schools we have now are bursting at the seems and not to mention there over crowed as there are more children in class than there was 10 years ago
