We are opposing a group trying to set up a frees school academy in North Devon – Route 39 Academy – which is in an area with surplus secondary school places. We don’t know how they have convinced the Govt that is needed as we are still awaiting the paperwork requested from the EFA via a freedom of information request. I wondered if you could publicise our e-petition to your followers as the more signatures we get the better. We have a FB page – “No to Route 39 Academy” and a new website – http://www.dispute39.co.uk/
The petition is: Free schools should not be approved by the Department for Education in areas where there are a surplus of places in existing schools”

Opening schools where there are surplus places represents wholesale privatisation of our education system
