Hackney Council has announced closures of four primary schools to address declining enrollment, projecting an increase in empty places despite expected reductions for the coming year.
With the current projection of 18% unfilled school places, Hackney Council's plan to close four more primary schools aims to counteract falling pupil rolls resulting from lower birth rates.
St Mary's Church of England Primary School, noted for its significant history, is among those slated for closure, signaling a substantial shift in local education dynamics.
The proposal to close schools reflects a broader trend, as 64% of primary schools in Hackney ended the last financial year overspending, accumulating a combined deficit that highlights ongoing financial challenges.
