Parents have been campaigning for the Yeadon school to stay open
Leeds City Council has decided not to close down Queensway School after months of speculation and campaigning from parents.
“I want to thank everyone who responded to the consultation in such numbers and with such feeling that it became impossible for the council to ignore the opposition to these plans. “Some damage has been done, as a number of pupils have already left the school. I wish that the council had engaged more with all governing bodies and councillors over the summer to develop a solution for the whole area.
