Save Abbey Special School (Rotherham)

Abbey School is a valuable community resource, providing education for children with special educational needs. In 2008 it was rated Outstanding, in 2011 it was rated Good and in 2014 it was rated Inadequate. The school can regain its previous standards with support and encouragement. Closure of the school would represent the loss of a valuable learning establishment, which has become part of our town's social fabric. We call upon Rotherham Council to take appropriate steps to improve the effectiveness of Abbey School and preserve it for the benefit of future Rotherham generations.
