'Close Our School, Kill Our Village'

Printer Print Article

A group of Arran parents is calling on North Ayrshire Council to reverse a controversial proposal to close a high-performing primary school on the island.

The mums and dads have accused NAC of using out-of-date and flawed information to help it reach it's decision and of rushing through the process before the Scottish Government makes it more difficult to close rural schools

Mum Donna Gold said: "They will close Corrie Primary over my dead body."

MSP Kenneth Gibson is supporting the parents and has raised the matter in the Scottish Parliament.
