## Resource

Alderley Edge School for Girls shut down abruptly weeks before its planned closure, citing protests as unsafe — leaving students and families heartbroken and scrambling. Despite a dedicated parent group securing £4 million in potential funding to save the school, the board rejected it, calling the plan unrealistic. Parents are furious and demanding answers, as the Charities Commission investigates whether trustees acted in the school’s best interest. The sudden shutdown has shattered trust and left children without proper farewells — all while refunds and deposits are being handled separately.
