Petition Action

Every child in Leeds should have a 'local priority' non-religious school

Petition Details

Leeds City Council is proposing changes to the primary school admissions policy (from September 2019) which would mean that children in some areas of the city (Primley Park, Moortown & Rothwell) are not within a catchment for any school (other than a religious foundation school).

Additional Information

It is inappropriate that any child should be discriminated against or disadvantaged for local schooling on the basis of their postcode or their religion.

Parliament should intervene to ensure that all children have a minimum of one non-religious local school (either local state funded or centrally funded foundation school) for which they are given a priority to apply on the basis of proximity/catchment.

You could start a new petition asking the Government or Parliament to change the rules that local authorities are allowed to apply for school placements across England if that is something you would like to see happen.
