Proposals to close a County Durham primary school with just one pupil are being put to councillors next week.
Durham County Council’s Cabinet is being asked to approve the closure of Forest of Teesdale Primary School at the end of this academic year, as part of the council’s duty to secure good outcomes for all children and young people.
The school is located in the small rural community of Forest-in-Teesdale. It currently has just one child on roll and there are no anticipated developments in the area that would increase numbers.
