Leeds City Council has issued a statement regarding the future of a Leeds primary school at risk of closure to a falling birth rate in the area.
The council said on Tuesday, November 15, that the consultation process on closing Queensway Primary School had finished. A decision has not yet been made, but it has acknowledged that other options had been explored, and a school in the Guiseley and Yeadon area would need to be closed because of the lower demand for places.
Many parents have been protesting against the closure, with several flagging that they feel the school provides better support for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The council said it will be working with the leadership team and other schools to maintain that support if Queensway does close.
