## Resource

A beloved village school is shutting down at the end of the year, leaving parents heartbroken and children devastated — with just 35 kids expected next term, far below capacity, and all staff having left for new jobs. Parents describe the school as a family, especially vital for kids with special needs, and demand answers after feeling ignored. Local councillors are now pressing for transparency, questioning whether restructuring caused the staff exodus. Governors admit financial strain since 2020 and say closure was unavoidable without staff, promising support for relocating students.
