Petition update, 09 February 2007

More details from petition creator

The Church of England has asked the Secretary of State for Education to designate the Blue Coat School as a Church of England School. In the medium and long terms this will have profound effects upon the character of the school. In its current format the school is successful in both educational and social terms and provides opportunity to pupils from a wide range of ethnic, religous and financial backgrounds. It is both immoral and wholly inappropriate for the Church to attempt to force the school to become a Church of England School against the will of the overwhelming majority of the pupils, parents, Governors and Foundation Trustees. This petition calls upon the Prime Minister to ensure that the Blue Coat School is not designated a Church of England School.
