Let's win our school back! With every signature, we're proving just how much Leweston matters to everyone.
Our school is a vital part of the wider Dorset community.
As well as nurturing families from nursery through to Sixth Form, we share Leweston with training athletes, community swim sessions, forest schools, Catholic and Anglican confirmations, community choirs and orchestras, summer clubs, and much, much more.
Losing the school would mean ending the life-changing work which takes place on its grounds and beyond. We have supported our sister school, Jana Jyoti, since 1987, both financially and as an active presence when they've welcomed us biennially in Nepal; Leweston's closure would have a hugely detrimental impact on their pupils' futures. The same applies to the countless charities which Leweston have supported over the years through the generosity and hard work of pupils, parents, and teachers alike.
It's hard to express, or even to imagine, the extent of the repercussions that Leweston's closure would have. Still, with the support of all of our pupils, parents, teachers, alumni, friends, and all those who make up the family that is Leweston, we can prevent this from happening. By signing this petition, you are playing an active role in preserving the future of our school. Thank you.

Education
I am the founder of the new Associatuon for Families of Independent Schooling (AFIS) and we are fighting hard to advocate for all families impacted by the cruel education taxes. We champion parental choice and diversity of schooling provision, with independent schooling as an essential part of that choice. We stand by and stand with the children, parents, teachers and staff of Leweston.
