Leathersellers Governing Board

The Governing Board has acknowledged the majority of parents, staff and pupils who responded to the formal consultation are opposed to academisation. Despite this, the Governing Board voted to proceed with the conversion. Please sign the petition below to call on the Governing Board to end the strikes.

We the undersigned call on the Governing Board to halt the academy conversion process and agree a substantial delay with the NEU & GMB to enable the following:

• Strikes to be suspended during exams
• A working party to be set up to fully explore alternative governance structures
• All stakeholders to have time to fully understand what Academy conversion means
