The closure threat hanging over Sneyd Community School receded after the Children and Young Peoples Scrutiny Panel rejected any proposal to close the school.
It was pointed out at the meeting that scrutiny panels can only make recommendations and that the final decision on the future of the school lay with the cabinet.
Further meetings are to be announced early in January for the scrutiny panel to consider four options for keeping the school open.
More detail on last nights meeting will be published on this site soon, but we felt it important to inform parents and students of the outcome of last night’s meeting as soon as possible.
