Sandown bay needs a sixth formThe sixth form at Sandown bay has always been successful. The 2017 results were above average again, despite the turmoil created by the current uncertainties in the future of the school. There is no alternative in the area. Transport issues including costs will put off those who are capable of post 16 study but will have to travel. Younger students need to see a visible 6th form to aspire them to learn and give them an educational goal to work towards.551 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Dawn G

Basic first aid to become part of the National CurriculumLives could be saved and injuries could be lessened if everyone was aware of even the most basic of first aid. From nose bleeds to broken bones, concussion to knife injury, if people knew the 1st steps, basic ‘what to do’ in a situation whilst waiting for paramedics, further injury or trauma could be minimised.14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ali Edge

Save Heysham Swimming Pool.Cllr Margaret Pattison, Cllr Janice Hanson, Cllr Darren Clifford and Cllr David Whittaker are very concerned with living in a seaside area such as Morecambe and Heysham that children should have a local pool to learn to swim. The pool has 54.000 visitors a year with 16 schools using the pool for swimming lessons and groups helping people to keep fit and healthy, if closed this would effect the health and safety of the people in Morecambe.1,066 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Cllr Margaret Pattison.

Referendum on the final terms on which the UK will leave the European UnionThe EU referendum represented a low point in post war UK democratic politics. Only now are problems coming to the fore that were not considered in the referendum and not debated at the time. Oeople did not know the consequences of them and Brexit impact reports are being unacceptably hidden from the people. This is unacceptable and we need a final decision when we know exactly what Brexit means and that means the full terms of an any deal.79 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Roman Haluszczak

Remove the new 2017 homework schedule set by leadership and not teachers.Most pieces of homework are thought to take 30 minutes to complete, in reality each piece is at least an hours worth. The new rules mean one student must be given a minimum level of homework, this is averaging 2-3 pieces per night. This is potentially 3 hours of homework per evening. Add this to any clubs or hobbies undertaken and there is little time for socialising, relaxing, enjoying a novel or looking further into the topics that we want to explore. Students are encouraged to do extra-curricular activities such as Duke of Edinburgh awards to enhance college applications but when do we fit this in? School ends later than most others at 1605; the majority of students take the bus and arrive home 1630-1650. This is almost 2 hours after the students at Brookfield Community School in Chesterfield (just 1 example). Something has to give and unfortunately this is the erosion of family life. School say that we can complete some homework within lunch but this is only possible if we have somewhere to study. Library? Full. Computer rooms? Out of bounds. Classrooms? Not open. Since the 2017 minimum homework rules students are saying they are behind in their work for the first time ever, they are stressed and anxious. Finally, the teachers perspective is that they now have 200 books per week to mark and have no choice but to do this in their own time. Teachers are also stressed and anxious and it's all because they are having to set homework they may not feel even supports their lesson. They HAVE to....not WANT to. This petition is not to abolish homework completely, just to return to teachers setting homework THEY feel is supportive and recognising when their pupils are overwhelmed. In fact, doing exactly what they are trained to do.16 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Katie Clinton

BARNFIELD RESIDENTS' APPEALThe funding of £1m was given to this area in 2012 over a 10 year period and one main priority should be education for our children and young people, there has been a great demand for supplementary education but we cannot afford to fund this ourselves. Whilst the funds for this Big Local Area has been inappropriately allocated to pay Big Local Co-ordinator’s salary, run activities and events that attempt to address short term needs of some members of the community to the detriment of Barnfield children education. We therefore solicit that the Barnfield Big Local funding subsequently be allocated in a way that prioritise our children’s education.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Barnfield Resident

Downton Little Learners- We all feel this is an important group to save as there are not many other groups in Downton. - Some mums that attend the group do not drive so the need to keep this group is vital to some. - As this group is from ages 0-5 it targets a lot of parents. - Groups like this can help Mums and their children to make new friends and grow more confident. - Groups like these can help many people in different ways and we all feel this is a group to be saved for that reason.48 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kerry Hirst

More funding for SEN students in schoolsAs students ourselves, we feel that some children are at a disadvantage with their education. This is because they are not receiving the support they need to learn. It could be down to various reasons, but we feel that giving schools extra funding to tackle this issue, is essential. If we want future generations to help Britain grow, we need to invest now.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Heather Forknall

1998 and onwards student loansSo far, almost 20 years payments has barely reduced any loan balance. The 1998 era hasn't been looked at and We were the first to receive loans rather than grants. It is only just and fair that we have the same cap on how many years we are expected to pay the loan for- in line with current student loan proposals.19 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Student loan Equality

Schools in Merseyside are being affected by their budgets right now!As a student in bootle I can see how our schools our being affected everyday and they are having to make hard decisions to cut things from our school to save money. For example, my school has had to get rid of a reward system recently due to the high cost and the money needing to be spent elsewhere. Therefore this will have a bad affect on students behaviour,causing disruption and not helping within the community either. As well as this I have saw my school cut the numbers of teachers such as 3 geography teachers to 2 even though it gained popularity as a chosen option. Finally, not only teachers are being sacked but subjects are having to be lossed such as food technology, this means students who want a career path towards things like cooking will be made harder as getting onto further courses might require this gcse. This needs to be adressed how our young people are being hindered by money and can not do the career they want to enjoy in the future due to cuts needing to be spent in main subjects which are also struggling.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by John Mcgarvey

Penglais Sixth Form Lesson CutsMost other schools have 9 sessions per lesson over the course of two weeks, and some have 8, but Penglais only have 7 due to funding. It is important to have at 9 or at least 8 over two weeks as when it comes to exams we will be less prepared than other schools in Wales, and if they score higher marks in the exams, overall we will fall below and not get the results we deserve. The study sessions that have been used as a replacement do not offer the support of the classes to help towards exams90 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Morgan Jade Errington
