Protesting Leeds mums 'devastated' by plans to shut their kids' school down

Leeds kids and parents have been left 'devastated' after receiving the news that their primary school could be shut down next year.

Families gathered outside Queensway Primary School in Yeadon on Monday afternoon, September 26, to fight against the plan from Leeds City Council to permanently close the school. Due to a falling birth rate, the school is no longer seen as a viable source of income.

But the families who love going to the school feel differently, and say Queensway has been fantastic in supporting their children - particularly those with additional needs. Many came together to wave placards and chanted 'save our school' as they told their stories outside the school gates.
