A primary school in Leeds has been given a proposal by Leeds City Council to close the school in 2023, with parents, staff and children devastated after being told they have four weeks to save the school.
The Leeds local authority has proposed a plan to permanently close Queensway Primary School in Guiseley due to a decrease in birth rate within the area. It means the school is no longer seen as a viable source of income but the parents and the school say the plans are shocking as they announced they will be fighting to keep the school open.
In a letter submitted by the council, it said: "Unfortunately, Queensway Primary School has also seen a large fall in the request for places in its reception class and future numbers are expecting to decline further."
