William Brookes School

Earlier this week William Brookes School in Much Wenlock said it wants to shut its post-16 offer from September 2025.

The school said it has faced a significant decline in sixth form student numbers and has a financial shortfall that threatens the provision for its younger students.

A consultation on the closure will close at 12pm on Wednesday, April 11.

Ludlow MP Philip Dunne said he was concerned at the impact the move would have on local pupils and families.
