The Schools Adjudicator has today announced their decision to overturn Essex County Council’s decision to discontinue (close) the Deanes School.

I know this will make the parents and c.150 children we have at the school very happy as well future pupils who didn’t know whether they should apply or not!

Southend Council has been at the forefront of objecting to the decision, as it was not in the best interests of our pupils.

Here is a link for the full decision:
