Primary school set to close despite parent protest
Headteacher Mark Duce talks to Rima Ahmed about the current situation. The school was threatened with closure in 2022, but was granted a reprieve after parents protested. A consultation was opened in January over plans to shut the school, which has just 72 children on the roll from a capacity of 210.
At a Leeds City Council meeting this week, all but one councillors voted in line with the authority's report which recommended issuing a statutory closure notice. A final decision will be taken at the council's June executive board, and if approved, the school will close at the end of the summer term.
