Reading Borough Council is currently proposing to cease funding for the Whitley Excellence Cluster, despite the increase in attainment and aspiration that it has been shown to lead to.
This petition was presented to Reading Borough Council on 14th February and received extensive local press coverage.
There were over 600 paper based signatures as well as the online ones
Unfortunately the lead councillor for education, Cllr Mark Ralph was not willing to take any action to support the continuing work.
This is despite the impact he acknowledged it has had on education in the area.
This petition doesn't ask Reading Borough council to keep necessarily keep funding at the existing level, but for them to stop being complacent and to act now find a way to protect this essential support to children in South Reading.
However the campaign will continue and we will look for other ways to support South Reading's schools, so please sign and we will send you occasional updates.
Please also take a look at the website.
We, the undersigned, call on Reading Borough Council, to find a way to save the good work of Whitley Excellence Cluster, which has done so much for young people and families in South Reading.
You can further help this campaign by sponsoring it
