Leeds Council backs down on controversial school closure after protests

Leeds City Council has decided not to close down Queensway School after months of speculation and campaigning from parents.

It comes two months after a consultation over the future of the school was held. Campaigners argued the school's closure would have a negative impact on the education of the pupils.
