Parents have warned that their children are being ‘set up for failure’ if their schools are shut
Parents and teachers in Islington warn that planned closures of St Jude and St Paul’s Primary School and Highbury Quadrant Primary School, due to falling pupil numbers and budget deficits, will set children up for failure. Teachers are striking, while parents express concerns about finding school places, especially for siblings and neurodivergent children, and the potential for further closures. Protests have been held, highlighting the impact on students and teachers, and the recent closure of other primary schools in the borough.
