Governors at a tiny south Shropshire school earmarked for closure say they have considered 'all possible options' before coming to the 'very difficult conclusion' that the school is not sustainable.
over a decision to consult on a proposal to ship children out of the school in Newcastle upon Clun in advance of another possible proposal to close it completely.
The three schools in The Blue Hills Federation Clunbury CE Primary School, St Mary’s CE Primary School, Bucknell and Newcastle CE Primary have worked closely together since 2016 and this working partnership became formal when the schools federated in September 2017. "Subject to the outcome of a statutory consultation process, parents are able to opt for their children to continue their education at either Clunbury CE Primary School or St Mary’s CE Primary School, Bucknell should they prefer. They may also opt to take their children to other local schools should they wish."
"The demographic data on forecast pupil numbers suggests that this will not change or improve sufficiently in the foreseeable future."
