Pupils from Dereham Sixth Form College (DSFC) have started a campaign to save the college after Neatherd High School announced it would split from the institution.
The #savingdsfc hashtag has been shared on Twitter with students arguing that keeping DSFC would benefit the town and the wider community. It has got the attention of Harry Potter star Chris Rankin, a former Northgate High School pupil, who called the decision appalling.
Students have also reached out for support from Donald Trump, Juan Mata and Bill Gates.
It comes as Dereham Neatherd High School's governors decided to establish its own facility on the current DSFC site from September, leaving its partnership with Dereham Northgate High School after 40 years.A petition has been set up to save the partnership between the schools and has received over 850 signatures so far.
