Save Cynffig's Sixth Form
Save Cynffig's Sixth Form
Why this petition matters
The fate of our sixth form is currently being debated by Bridgend Council. The council is deciding whether to close down certain sixth forms and force pupils to commute to sixth form centres around the Borough, with no transport provided. At the moment Cynffig’s sixth form is most at risk in their plans; being a small sixth form it is not seen as important or worth keeping. Our sixth form creates a nurturing environment for its students during two of the most crucial years in their education. Our sixth form helps prepare us as young adults to go onto university, apprenticeships or employment. The relationships developed from the beginning of secondary education to sixth form, not just with other pupils, but with our teachers lay the foundations for our success. Our teachers genuinely care about us and our success in sixth form and our futures. We fear this would not be the case in a sixth form centre, which would care about our grades, not our wellbeing. Having an accessible sixth form in our community is imperative for our future, please help us save ours.
