They're fighting tooth and nail to save it from closure ✊
Leeds kids and parents have been left 'devastated' after receiving the news that their primary school could be shut down next year.
"Leo has only been at Queensway for two weeks and already, the difference in him is incredible - on his first day there, my wife said for the first time ever she didn’t have anxiety about leaving him - not worrying about another call from the school or being asked for a word at the school gates etc. In her report, Lunn added that parents also praised the school for its works with children who have additional needs.
"My friends and I would be separated. My bestest friend in the whole world would have to go somewhere else." Vicky Lancaster, 38, has two children currently at Queensway: Joey, seven, and Ava, five. Her eldest son Aiden, 12, is now at secondary school - but loved attending Queensway and has also been a big part of the fight to stop its closure.
"I'm attending two schools for drop-off already - the thought of maybe doing three would be terrible. The kids could be separated - there's no guarantee they would be together. That's a worry for a lot of the parents here. A petition to save the school has already garnered nearly 3,000 signatures. You can see it and sign by clicking here. While the protest was ongoing, Leeds councillors were inside the school discussing the closure.
