The Proposed Closure of Middle Schools in Suffolk

Suffolk County Council are wanting to close all the middle schools in the county. Middle school are situated mainly in the west and north of the county. It is suggested that we return to a two tier system of education rather than three tier. There has been much opposition to the proposed plans by parents who feel that the education of their children would be severely affected by the changes.
