Anyone out there ever managed to help stop a school being closed which has been down for closure by their council? My DD's primary school has been targeted amongst 2 others. Yes at the moment the school roll doesn't look healthy but there are planned building developments in the pipeline (100 houses to be built). The other 2 nearest schools which are nearer to built up areas are over subscribed but apparently to avoid costly appeal processes the council override those schools decisions to turn pupils away and make them accept them even though the schools are fit to burst instead of directing them to our school which is half a mile away!!! Its a lovely school and everyones in shock-parents are planning to set up campaign group. Has anyone ever been through this?
