A community is set to come together to celebrate a successful campaign to prevent a Leeds school from closing.
Earlier this year, Education Leeds threatened to close City of Leeds High School in Woodhouse, which it claimed was underperforming.
But months of fighting by parents, staff, community leaders, the Stand Up 4 City campaign, governors and local councillors saw the council perform a u-turn and keep the school open. The campaign saw more than 400 people attend a public meeting in February, hundreds of pupils gave the school a 'big hug' and there was a petition with more than 1,000 names.
Now the Stand up 4 City campaign is holding a Celebrate 4 City event to mark the school staying open.
One of the organisers, Elizabeth Chillngton, said that people of all backgrounds in the inner city community had come together over the issue. She added:
"To celebrate this amazing community achievement we are having a big party, 6.30pm-9pm on 25 November at the school. Free food, entertainment, workshops, dance competition and surprises! The event is open to all of our students, families, community supporters and anyone else who fought to keep our vibrant school alive."
