A Jan. 20 article in the Yorkshire Evening Post described the controversy surrounding the future of Parklands Girls High School:
Parents, staff, pupils and the community were given the chance to have their say at the first public meeting held on the issue of girls-only schooling. A further eight meetings are being held.
Speaking before the meeting, parent governor Lisa Evans whose daughter goes to Parklands, said: "Education Leeds has made its mind up."
Year 12 pupil Arfana Kauser, 16, of Harehills, said: "The school teaches us to be strong independent women who are going to be successful in the future. I think it's important it's not nixed."
