HC Deb 24 March 1998 vol 309 cc128-9W
Mr. Paul Marsden

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if he will list the schools which closed in Shropshire in each year since 1979. [34260]

Mr. Byers

Since 1983, the earliest year for which we have information available, the schools which have closed in Shropshire (excluding special schools) are listed in the table. Some schools have closed to reopen as an amalgamated school: some have closed to facilitate a change in age range. In such cases the successor schools are shown.
