Proposal to close Snape Wood Primary and Nursery

On 30 July 2025, the Council’s Executive Member for Children, Young People and Education, agreed to proceed to publishing a statutory proposal for closure as a result of the considerable decline in pupil numbers at the school and a significant surplus of school places within Snape Wood Primary School’s place planning area. This decision followed a Stage 1 pre-publication consultation on the proposals, which took place from 3 June to 6 July 2025.

The proposal aims to ensure that all children in the local community continue to receive strong and sustainable educational provision.
