As teachers and support staff at Longcroft School, we are deeply concerned about the proposal to close our Sixth Form. This decision will have a serious impact on our students, our staff, and the wider Beverley community — and we are calling on everyone to help us fight it.
Why It Matters

Four Reasons
to Fight For It

Local Access

A local opportunity for young people to access high quality post-16 education — without travelling far from home.

Safe Environment

A safe, familiar environment where students feel known, valued, and supported by staff they already trust.

Broad Curriculum

A diverse range of A-level and vocational subjects, giving every student genuine choice close to home.

Pastoral Support

Strong specialist pastoral care — vital for vulnerable and disadvantaged learners who need consistency.

The Consequences

The Impact
of Closure

For Students

  • Fewer local A-level and vocational options
  • Longer travel times and higher transport costs
  • Loss of specialist teachers and tailored support
  • Weaker subject knowledge across KS3 & KS4

For Staff

  • Risk of redundancies across teachers and support staff
  • Instability and reduced morale school-wide
  • Increased workload — less time for students

For Our Community

  • Reduced local educational provision in Beverley
  • Fewer opportunities for young people to study locally
  • Harder to attract and retain excellent teachers
