A BILLINGHAY resident campaigning to save the Lafford High School from closure has hit out at a letter sent by the Director of Children's Services.
Susanna Matthan said: "In his letter, Mr Duxbury cites falling numbers as a problem that affects our wider community, listing Billinghay Primary School, as well as the communities of Tattershall, Ruskington and Sleaford, as facing this same trend.
Has he been to these places to tell parents that the same fate will befall them?
"Interestingly, he cites government planning terms for secondary schools as requiring an annual intake over 120 children in order to remain sustainable. By that, I take it to mean that if your school has an intake below this, you will be closed. How many Lincolnshire schools will be affected by this?"
