Hands off Hove Park School is calling on all supporters to join with a march and family picnic in Hove on 5 July.
The plan is to meet at 10.30am on the lawns opposite the car-park of the King Alfred's Leisure Centre. Everyone is welcome to join the march including students, families, teachers and anyone who supports and values a fair, equal, excellent comprehensive education in local schools for all the children in our communities. We are marching to say NO to the academy proposal at Hove Park and NO to the continued and chaotic dismantling and deregulation of state schools. We are also marching to celebrate our local schools and help to protect the rights of hard-working, committed state-school teachers who put the education of children first.
Comedians Shappi Khorsandi and Mark Steel will join our family picnic from about 12.30pm for a Stand-Up For Hove Park School comedy show in Hove Park. Caroline Lucas MP will also be speaking.
Retune It will conduct an HOHPS marching band – bring your wheelie bins, metal buckets and pots & pans – and something to bash them with!
Let us know what you can bring to MAKE SOME NOISE. And arrive at 10.20am prompt for a rehearsal.
Don’t forget to bring bubbles, banners, badges and balloons too and add picnic food, friends and family for a great day out. The route for the march will go up Sackville Road and finish at Hove Park.
