More details from petition creator

Mitchell High School, a transformational and innovative school in the heart of a deprived community in Stoke-on-Trent is under threat of closure as part of the re-organisation of Secondary Education in Stoke. If the closure goes ahead, the communities of Eaton Park, Bentilee, Bucknall, Abbey Hulton, Berryhill and Townsend will lose its local schools and at best students will be offered a place at a new Academy in a neighbouring area. Having grown academically from 6% 5 A* - Cs in 2002 to over 60% 5 A* - Cs in 2007 they are now about to lose everything they have fought for: inspiring teachers, improved academic achievement, an innovative school at the heart of it’s community, caring for the community. Mitchell High School is a small school that makes a huge difference. A proposal to unite Mitchell Business and Enterprise College and Berry Hill High School to provide a school of approximately 850 students was welcomed by all, but disregarded by the Local Authority. Parents are adamant that the Local Authority are not taking their views and their needs into account. The parents, students and staff of both schools want to retain a school in the heart of these communities, please help.
