A south Shropshire school says it will support students whose A-level courses have been cut amid financial challenges across the education sector.

Oldbury Wells School, in Bridgnorth, says it told parents of its decisions on some courses this week and will be offering further support and guidance to any individual students affected by the decisions.

Mr Tristham said it had become apparent that certain courses would not run and has made the decision to"communicate this early to allow appropriate support to be given to any students who may no longer have a full match of subject choices. He added:"We are always keen to listen and respond to any feedback from those across our school community and would encourage any families who have specific questions to contact the school to allow appropriate advice to be given."The parent said:"Students at Oldbury Wells School who had been hoping to continue their studies at the school's sixth form, have been left scrabbling for the exit door as the sixth form curriculum offering for 2023/24 was slashed.

The parent added:"Parents and pupils now fear for the future of sixth form provision in the town, as an exodus of prospective students gathers pace, bringing the viability of even confirmed courses into question.
