Parents of children at St Jude and St Paul's Primary School are pursuing a Judicial Review against Islington Council, arguing that the decision to close the school was unfair. They contend that the council has misrepresented important financial details that affected the school’s funding viability. This action is amidst a broader trend of school closures in London, influenced by factors such as Brexit and the ongoing cost of living crisis. The school has a low enrollment rate, but parents assert that many families are not leaving, emphasizing their commitment to keeping the school open despite challenges.
Our parents really believe we have a strong case. We are not losing children or families. We believe the school is going to stay open.
Even though [the decision] has gone through the council chambers I believe the executive board members have made a decision on what is presented to them.
