Nearly 700 parents, teachers and governors have been thanked for attending a public meeting to discuss the proposed closure of one school and the possible expansion of another.
The plans would see the closure of Castle Hall School, in Mirfield, and the expansion of Mirfield Free Grammar School.
The move forms part of Kirklees Council’s £200m Building Schools for the Future plans.
During a meeting at Mirfield Free Grammar, interested parties were able to make representations to Canon Richard Lindley, from the independent Office of the Schools Adjudicator.
Castle Hall School has since issued a statement saying: “The school would like to thank everybody who helped support this event in any way, either in the organisation of it or by attending – 690 people in total.”
