Supporting Frank Barnes School

   Are you itching to do something? Here’s how you can support the

    campaign to secure the future of Frank Barnes School:

1    Word of mouth and more pupils for the school!

    Please tell all your friends and any parents of deaf children you know about the school and encourage them to visit.

    The more deaf children we have at the school, the stronger our case for a re-build as a Regional Centre!

     We have Open Days each term – contact school via phone/ minicom 020 7586 4665 or see www.fbarnes.camden.sch.uk for details.

2    Sign our petition!

      Please join our petition on this website.

The petition is now closed, and has been sent to the Government for their consideration.

3    Meet your MP!

   Please arrange to meet with your MP or local councillor. The contact information for your MPs can be found on the website www.writetothem.com
