We did it! Thanks to this incredible community, in just 3 days our petition has officially smashed past 50 verified signatures alongside 40 completed parent surveys!
Crossing 50 signatures automatically triggers an official system alert straight to AnnMarie Dodds (Executive Director of Children's Services).
🏛️ Formal Council Question Confirmed:
Our public question has been officially processed by Democratic Services and is legally locked onto the agenda pack for the Ordinary Executive Meeting on Thursday, July 2nd. We have also formally requested that the Council Executive review our raw FOI data as an urgent written statement ahead of the June 11th session so they cannot use bureaucratic delays to ignore us.
📊 The Hard Facts We Are Handing Over:
63.2% of local SEND families have been directly turned away from summer clubs due to a lack of 1:1 staff.
87.5% have had their employment, career, or personal finances severely damaged by this childcare gap.
94.7% demand a safe, centralized holiday hub at The Castle School site, with 71.4% backing alternative partnerships like Brookfields School, West Berkshire Mencap, or Camp Mohawk.

🎪 Bringing the Campaign Face-to-Face!
To keep building our case before the July 2nd meeting, we are taking our data pack straight to the school gates at two major upcoming events:
The Brookstock Festival at Brookfields School – We will be on the ground networking with families!
Castlefest (The Castle School Summer Fete) –  Saturday, June 20th, where we will be gathering massive live support.

🔥 Our Next Target: 100 Signatures!
Now that our question is locked onto the formal council agenda, let’s double our numbers to show the Executive a massive mandate on July 2nd. Please forward this link to one more local parent or inclusion group right now!
