Parents give up their fight to save Durham Free School from closure
Parents have met to discuss the future of Durham Free School, after being told it would close at Easter.
Campaigners give up the fight to save Durham Free School
Durham Free School WILL close at Easter after campaigners decided not to pursue a Judicial Review.
A statement released on the school's Facebook page last night said even if a review of the Secretary of State's decision was successful, it would not guarantee the school stayed open in the future.
The statement went on to describe the decision by the Education Secretary Nicky Morgan as a 'miscarriage of justice' and said the priority now was finding alternative schools for the children.
The Department for Education said, following an OFSTED inspection, the school had failed to show enough evidence of improvement, and gave formal notice that its funding would be terminated and should close before Easter.
Last night the school said it would work hard to ensure the last weeks of the school term were as happy and fulfilling as possible for the children
