Petitions
Notice of Petition: “We strongly support the expansion of Barnett Wood Infant School to incorporate a junior school. This is the only OFSTED "Outstanding" school in Ashtead and we would like to see this standard extended to juniors too under the leadership of Mrs Penny. Let's make us of the already acquired land adjacent to the school to ease the pressure of expansion on other local schools. We would like to see the expansion happen as soon as possible and would urge Surrey County Council to explore all available options.” Containing 296 signatures from Mrs Amanda Ross. A response will be tabled at the meeting.
