So lovely to be able to have our Eid Picnic @CardenPrimary @CardenPta again. Eid Mubarak!

[Keep Carden Thriving @Cardenthriving]

Pans will NOT be cut at any of the seven primary schools under threat. We had to shout loudly and spend hours going through the data and reading reports and make speeches in order to make this happen. It worked. Well done everyone involved @BrightonSave

[Brighton & Hove LDR Sarah Booker-Lewis @BHDemocracyNews]

Only the councillors in the room can vote.

There is unanimous agreement, the PANs will NOT be cut #LDreporter #Brighton #Hove @BrightonSave @Cardenthriving @RudyardSchool @WoodingdeanPS @Stand4Bevendean @ColdeanRocks

@BHDemocracyNews @hannalytical @BrightonSave Thanks for attending, your work on this has made a huge difference, making sure the most disadvantaged had a voice and weren’t ignored.

[Brighton & Hove LDR Sarah Booker-Lewis @BHDemocracyNews]

Triple front of @BrightonIndy this week. I'm sure the double page inside will make @BrightonSave @Cardenthriving @WoodingdeanPS and @RudyardSchool very happy today.
Breaking news after this was printed last night was Aldi with its planning application. #LDreporter #Brighton #Hove

🙏🏻Thanks to our fab MP @CarolineLucas for her written question to @educationgovuk @nadhimzahawi about making the Published Admission Numbers fairer >> https://t.co/sHliZlb4KB

This affects the whole of the UK as birth rate drops, not just Brighton.

@BHDemocracyNews @ZoeOliviaJohn Thank you @ZoeOliviaJohn for listening and hearing what we have to say. We have been making suggestions for solutions as we do understand the difficult situation the council are in.

[Keep Carden Thriving @Cardenthriving]

@BHDemocracyNews We thank all the councillors who have managed to attend the consultation meetings.

[Keep Carden Thriving @Cardenthriving]

@BHDemocracyNews @hannalytical We’re not campaigning just because we love our school,we are campaigning because it will widen the attainment gap making the lives of disadvantaged families harder. This is what @notnicelaura notnicelaura explained yesterday.

[Keep Carden Thriving @Cardenthriving]

.@CardenPrimary was established in 1948, a few months after the NHS came into existence.

In our roots is the understanding that together we can thrive.

Many govs & massive social change, but helping kids thrive is at heart of our amazing school.

Go Woodingdean! #saveourschools

@BHDemocracyNews @WoodingdeanPS This is great. Thanks!

For anyone who missed the lengthy debate following the schools admissions petitions, I curated them here https://t.co/ANPP6Hra8r #LDreporter #Brighton #Hove @WoodingdeanPS @Cardenthriving

[laura bissonnet @notnicelaura]

This was me this evening, presenting a petition at a full council meeting. Quite nerve wracking but hopefully worth it. @Cardenthriving

[Keep Carden Thriving @Cardenthriving]

@Stand4Bevendean @ZoeOliviaJohn @Phelimmac @CarolineLucas @lloyd_rm @WithdeanGreens @CllrJamieLloyd @Woodingdean_Dee @BHConservatives @danieljyates @BHGreenCllrs It has been made clear other solutions must be found. The current proposals are unacceptable. Parents and carers across the city need to hear the impact of keeping large schools in affluent areas has on the most deprived schools.

[Keep Carden Thriving @Cardenthriving]

Another amazing @CardenPrimary consultation this evening.Parents have spent so much time and energy on this. @MayorOfficeBHCC must allow each school with a petition to have it’s full 15 minutes discussion at full council tomorrow. #democracy @Stand4Bevendean

[Stand Up For Bevendean @Stand4Bevendean]

4/4 @RudyardSchool is also part of the consultation and has a staggering 38% of children on the SEND register. What will be the impact on our vulnerable children and the financial cost. @BrightonHoveCC has already over spent £400,000 on SEND provision. Will PAN reduction help?

[Stand Up For Bevendean @Stand4Bevendean]

3/4 @CardenPrimary @Cardenthriving This school is also part of the consultation and again has a specialist speech and language centre. Bevendean and Carden are both classed as special schools. They are also both shining examples of success.

[Stand Up For Bevendean @Stand4Bevendean]

We hope that those groups supporting our children with SEND are aware of the council's proposals to reduce PAN? Schools being targeted have the highest proportion of children from disadvantaged backgrounds and have SEND. @AmazeSussex @PaCCBrighton

@Stand4Bevendean Brighton and Hove schools are a family - we stand by each other! Stay strong.

From our friends at @Stand4Bevendean, who are also fighting cuts to their intake. ✊👇

[Stand Up For Bevendean @Stand4Bevendean]

What percentage of children are eligible for #freeschoolmeals nationally? Bevendean has the highest percentage of disadvantaged pupils in the whole of Brighton at 51%. Soon they will be asked to achieve in full classes of 30, mixed with other year groups.
