Welsh rural school’s ‘closure threat’ (Western Mail)

SMALL rural schools in Wales are “less protected” from closure than they are in England, a campaign group warned yesterday.

The National Association for Small Schools (Nass) says between 100 and 300 schools across the UK could shut their doors because councils are under pressure to not only cut the number of spare places but also not to have too many schools.
