An oxford school is to close after a sharp decline in pupil numbers meant the school was no longer viable.

Headington Quarry First School will close this summer after it was estimated that only 25 pupils were ready to go there from September.

School budgets depend on pupil numbers and Headington Quarry would not have been able to afford more than a skeleton staff.

Members of Oxfordshire County Council's schools organisation committee decided to order the closure of the school yesterday.
