Pupils join forces for Routemaster bus tour protest against Islington primary school closures

Primary pupils this week skipped their lessons to club together on a bus tour protest against the looming closure of their north London schools.

Children from St Jude and St Paul’s and Highbury Quadrant schools, in Islington, clambered aboard an open-top Routemaster headed for the Town Hall, brandishing flags and placards and crying out: “Save our school!”
