‘Where am I going to send my children?’: anguish as schools close across England

In Lewes, a catholic primary may shut as parents are driven out by lack of affordable housing while parents of London school face ‘terrible decision’

Sonia Tann says she has woken in tears every morning since parents were informed that her local school, St Pancras Catholic primary in Lewes, East Sussex, could be forced to close next year.
