Just something to say I am a student at the Anderson school in Chigwell for people with autism my name is Kieran white and I’m soon to be leaving the school due to being in year 11 I’m not a bad fan of school but I wish to say a few thing and I’m autistic and have a bunch of other problems so if anything doesn’t make too much sense I apoligize and hope it’s understandable Also apoligies if any misinformation Is said in this petition I only know so much 

Ok onto the thing I wish to not happen
 The Anderson School in Chigwell made by the NAS (National Austitic society) is being shutdown by ofsted or National autistic society despite the amount of backlash and problems this would cause like some parents and students literally moved house to get a place in the school and the amount of good the school is doing sure  it has its faults and ofsted knew that and the school failed to meet required standards a good few times but despite this

the school shined in my eyes and likely others eyes too  it has its faults but it’s main focus was to help students who had not been in school for a while or refused to go into school and It worked other students who went to school and they surprisingly enjoyed it.

To be honest I had fun being at the school despite my hatred of school, I find most of my problems through life have been because of school but.. This school is special, it isn’t a mainstream school, It has a decent amount of students at most 5 per class I think, The school in my opinion is the best at what it does I hate my disabilities this makes me not want to go to schools that well are centred around special needs but I just feel like the Anderson school is special and doesn’t deserve to be shutdown like this when it shows so much promise and ambitions

The school knew it would be tough to meet the standards required due to the very different sensory profiles of each student yet they decided they would try which if you ask me is much better then most schools can say 

lt is being closed in September which isn’t too far away I don’t want tha to happen to a school I see  as a priceless gem The amount of people that genuinely cared and Tried they’re best to help despite the huge differences between students and the difficulty of they’re own objectives 

The amount of backlash this could have is huge many students would have nowhere to go and the same for teachers they all are talented and truly set the bar high for a good teacher  there’s no school like this school it’s unique so just please I don’t want the school to go down like this it deserves so much better I just want  The school to have 1 more chance at success

Whether this petition works or not I’d just like to thank everyone at the Anderson school in Chigwell Including but not limited to, Matthew Sharpe, Garry Simms, Danni Davis, Paula Goosen, David Howard and many more members of staff at the school, sorry if I got any names wrong I’m not good with goodbyes so I Just wanted to say it’s been a good and fun journey so sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart,
