Parents are worried where children will go after Southfield Primary Academy in Brackley shuts.

Annabel and her two brothers Kassian, 5, and Jacob, 9, go to Southfields Primary Academy in Brackley, which is set to closeThe trustees of Southfield Primary Academy in Brackley, Northamptonshire, decided there was not enough demand for places and it was no longer viable.

She said: "Apparently the places just about add up, leaving no spaces in Year 1 or Year 2 in the rest of Brackley once our children have moved."So if they have to move schools, they're going to need extra emotional support and it is going to be disruptive to everybody's learning in Brackley.Year 6 pupil, Annabel, 11, said: "I literally burst into tears. I've been at this school for my whole school life.

It said the schools will employ additional new teachers and teaching assistants and the council said creating these additional places means that there will be sufficient capacity available in Brackley to accommodate all children being displaced by the closure of Southfield Primary Academy.
