@theipaper: Why are primary schools across Britain being forced to close? Britain's falling birth rate is leaving some schools with too few pupils to stay financially viable, with official estimates suggesting England could have around one million fewer primary school children by 2035 than in 2019. The closures are raising difficult questions for Andy Burnham's Government over education funding, smaller class sizes and what happens when the heart of a community disappears.

All the schools in my area of London closed because of lack of children in the 90s & then the small town I lived in up north closed all their schools in early 00s so it’s been happening for decades

Good, now keep them open & cap class sizes to 20. We need the class sizes down, overcrowded classes make it difficult for them to learn.
