Let's hear what the Election candidates have to say!

As we wait for a decision from the Education Minister, we continue to progress our campaign and gain more awareness in both our local and wider communities. We therefore encourage you as parents to now approach the 6th May Election Candidates in your constituency area. Either a short letter or email, asking them if they are aware of the threat of the prep funding withdrawal, the effects of it on our school and of their opinion on it, will suffice. Emails are just as effective as letters, and more time efficient.

This will ensure in particular the "new faces" to Strangford and North Down will be brought up to speed on the prep funding issue and we can hope to also get them on board and support us as soon as possible. This is also a chance to raise the profile of our campaign with all the candidates who will certainly be in the media limelight during the next few weeks.

Remember these people are looking for our votes on 6th May.

For your convenience, below are all the Strangford and North Down Constituency candidate's contact details. Please write to the particular candidates depending on where you live.
