Review The Department of Education in Northern Ireland's CFF changes relating to Preparatory School funding removal
Result:
Following the considerable effort, publicity and general resistance to the DENI funding proposals, concessions seem to have been made.
On behalf of all parents associated with Prep departments in our Province, I would like to extend my thanks to those that went to the effort of signing the petition and I'd like to think that in some small way this contributed towards the outcome..
THANK YOU!

As concerned parents, alumni, teachers, staff and indirect beneficiaries of the existence (and funding) of Preparatory schools in Northern Ireland, we urge the DENI and specifically the Education Minister to reconsider the proposed removal of the 30% grant-aid funding currently provided to Preparatory schools in the province.
We similarly urge the DENI and the Education Minister to defer the accelerated timeline for funding removal and enter into constructive dialogue with the impacted schools, recognising the financial value it affords the public purse and the potential contradiction of DENI values the funding removal will bring.
Further, we urge that the DENI and the Education Minister undertake a balanced review of the ramifications relating to the ongoing viability of Preparatory schools and the consequence of this as relates to the availability and equality of choice that would be directly impacted.
