Due to recent budget cuts in the British educational sector, the sixth form of Trinity Catholic School, Leamington Spa, UK has come under the threat of closure. Parents, teachers, students and the governing body are all in opposition to this cut as the sixth form still proves to be an integral component in making Trinity the caring, welcoming and respectful place that it has always been.

Understandably, cuts must be made in order to keep our local school running. However, through both lack of time and and awareness of the situation, Year 11 students in particular now have to make the integral decision about where to go for their further education, a choice that should've been made months ago. The closure not only affects Year 11 students, but all students and staff that have long been looking forward to continuing their education at such a unique and outstanding establishment.

The continuation of Trinity's sixth form for a further year, allowing Year 11 students to alleviate their evident anxiety and continue their education, has been the proposed solution. This solves both the issue of funding, whilst considering the needs of Year 11 students.

Please help our school offer our valued sixth form for a further two years by signing our petition, calling on Warwickshire County Council, the Catholic Archdiocese of Birmingham and Justine Greening MP, the Secretary of State for Education to use their power to continue the funding we need to support this fundamental necessity.
