Please find enclosed a letter from Dame Rachel De Souza, Children’s Commissioner for England:

FAO: The Springfield School Community 

I hope everyone at Springfield School enjoyed the much-needed Christmas break. I just wanted to offer my final thanks for your support with my national campaign ‘The Big Ambition’ which will be closing this Friday 19th January.

I have been overwhelmed by the response the survey has received. Over 300,000 children, young people, parents and carers have participated, making it one of the largest surveys of its kind!

This is the final push to hear from even more children before the survey closes, it is so important that every child in England has an opportunity to tell policy makers what they want and need ahead of the General Election.

By sharing my survey, you can make sure that the children and young people of Portsmouth are fairly represented in the results.

Children and parents or carers can complete the survey here:  www.childrenscommissioner.gov.uk/thebigambition

I am so very grateful for your support, and I am beyond excited to share the findings.

Very best


Dame Rachel De Souza

Children’s Commissioner for England
