REDDITCH parents are being urged to sign a petition calling for fairer funding for county schools.

Juliet Brunner, a parent governor at Matchborough First and Ipsley CE Middle schools said children across the county were suffering "educational discrimination".

Mrs Brunner is calling on parents to support Worcestershire Headteachers' Forum by signing a petition to bring funding up to an adequate level.

The petition can be signed online at:

www.fairfunding.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk and paper copies are available at all schools.

There are also plans to hold a public meeting at County Hall, Worcester, at 7pm on September 25, which MPs Mike Foster and Dr Richard Taylor are set to attend.
