## Resource

Diseworth C of E Primary School is shutting down at the end of the summer term due to plummeting enrollment and staff exodus—just 35 kids remain, far below capacity, with all teachers having left or moved on. The Leicestershire County Council calls it financially unsustainable, citing falling birth rates and low pupil numbers, and is now helping parents find new schools with drop-in sessions. Parents are furious and heartbroken, saying they were blindsided with little warning, especially those who’ve been commuting long distances. The council admits it’s a tough, sad day, and while they followed procedure, many feel the decision was rushed and poorly communicated.
