Historic School Faces Summer Closure
9 Mar
Summary
- Edenhurst Preparatory School may close this summer.
- School faces challenges common in the sector.
- Nursery will remain open if school closes.
Edenhurst Preparatory School, founded in 1961, is proposing to close its doors at the end of the summer term. This decision follows a prolonged review by the school and its governors in response to significant challenges facing the independent school sector.
A formal consultation process has commenced with parents, staff, and other stakeholders. While the preparatory school faces potential closure, its nursery is anticipated to continue operating. Governors acknowledge the difficult news and prioritize supporting pupils and staff with care and sensitivity.
The school, located in Newcastle-under-Lyme, has been a part of the local community for 65 years. A final decision on the closure will be made after all community feedback has been considered. The school aims to provide stability and continuity for its students throughout the remainder of the academic year.
