Surrey County Council has issued a proposal to close Shortwood Infant School, which is a small village school that has served the local community for the last 125 years and one of the last of its kind.

50 Students will have no choice but to leave the school. 15 staff will loose their jobs and 33 children who attend the adjoining playgroup will be turned away and if this is not bad enough...

Surrey County Council has trampled on our rights as parents to choose the school that best suits our childrens needs after careful consideration. They have trampled on the rights of our children to a stable education and,if they are successful in their bid to close this school, they are trampling on the rights of future generations ...Dont let the bullys win!

As a community we can and should fight this closure. Lets stop this right here and now and in doing so we can keep other schools safe too.

Please help us to save Shortwood School by signing this petition and sending it on to everyone that you know.

Your signature will make a real difference.

    • Please don't close this school. My brother and I went there, my Mum worked there, and it is a wonderful school which plays a vital part in the local community. The building is beautiful and has so much history, it would be terrible to see it close.
