To favour any one school over another can only lead to questions in parents minds which may be to the detriment of some excellent junior schools in particular Bell Farm where both my sons, former Burhill pupils, have attended and I do not believe they would have recieved a better or more rounded education at any other school.

It provided them with a balanced and community based education.Both continued on to Bell Farm which I understand has not been included as a partner with the school.How can this be right? It is the nearest Junior school to Burhill and should be a major partner with Burhill.At least half the Burhill intake go on to Bell Farm. Community is about inclusiveness not exclusivity.

I still believe that this subject needs to be discussed, with parents, at length.

We feel that this important community link will be lost if the school becomes a Trust. In addition, I have concerns that only Cleves and not Bell Farm are part of the Trust proposals.

This trust proposal only serves to underline that feeling and does nothing to promote to prospective parents any policy of neutrality. Bell Farm has always been viewed as the poor relation. It would appear on the surface that the puppets' strings are being controlled by the Cleves masters based on snob value alone. Sarah would have wanted Bell farm to be included in this trust

It's long been a cause for concern that Burhill promotes Cleves, to the detriment of other local schools. This confirms it. With only 16 declared supporters out of a school population of 300+, this is a dangerously low response on which to base such a far reaching decision. The Teaching Unions concerns are well founded but I doubt are known to the vast majority.

The proposed benefits for children can be achieved without the need for a Trust. The schools communication with stakeholders has been poor, many still do not know what is happening, and the school should not be allowed to take advantage of this and push things through. I also think the decision to exclude our local junior school will create significant, long term problems and Trust should not go ahead. I hope by signing this, parent voice will be heard.

]]> Wed, 17 Jun 2009 06:02:34 UTC 5719956 Mrs Nancy Scott [Signature #1] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/5719572?utm_medium=rss I'm not sure that Trust status will have any benefit for the children, but mostly I am concerned about the effects this may have on Bell Farm. Burhill parents are already divided over the issue of Junior schools, and Burhill's proposed partnership with Cleves will deepen that divide. Even if Bell Farm had been invited to join, which it wasn't and never will be, I still wouldn't agree with the proposals as Burhill and Bell Farm are both LOCAL COMMUNITY schools and should remain so!
