THE CAMPAIGN to stop the closure of Dick Shepherd School in Lambeth won a partial victory on February 3 when a proposal by Clir Greg Tucker to keep the school open until after the May elections was passed mittee.
Teachers, parents and local residents have waged a strong campaign to reverse Lambeth Council's decision to close the school including a one day strike by Lambeth NUT.
The school was to be a victim of cuts and 'market forces'.
Clir Tucker said, 'we should reject market forces in schools and see what we can do as an education authority to help this school develop'.
He was backed by Lambeth NUT rep, Dick North.
The campaign to save the school will continue.
