DESCRIPTION:At 6pm on Monday 10 February 2014\, \;Conservative Cabinet members \;on Hammersmith &\; Fulham Council will sit down to decide whether to close a primary school. They thought they had closed it on 20 January\, but the decision was called in by the Council's Education Commit tee which recommended that they should reverse their decision. \n \; \ nSulivan Primary School is rated Good with Outstanding features by OFSTED. Its KS2 results last year were in the top 250 in England for value added and for supporting the most disadvantaged pupils. The Mayor of London  \;recently awarded it membership of his Gold Club of top-performing school s. \n \; \nA few years ago\, \;Sulivan was struggling but thanks t o the pupil premium and the hard work of its teachers and staff it goes fr om strength to strength. Its reception class is full and it has a waiting list for its oversubscribed nursery. \n \; \nSulivan School \;has applied to become an academy with support from the London Diocesan Board\, and the overwhelming majority of parents and the local community. \;T he Tories say they support academies\, but the Department for Education&nb sp\;has put its application \;on hold at the request of the Council so that it can close it down instead. \n \; \nSo why do the Tories want to close it? Because it occupies a valuable plot of land which is the pref erred site of a new selective CofE secondary free school which is backed b y leading Conservative politicians. \n \; \nCome and join us as we and hundreds of campaigners try to persuade \;our asset-stripping Council  \;not to close this popular pupil premium success story! \n \; \n Meet us outside \;the Town Hall by 5.30pm or come inside. \n \; \n Hammersmith Town Hall\, nearest tube: Ravenscourt Park (Disctrict) 5 mins or Hammersmith Broadway (Piccadilly\, Hammersmith &\; City\, District) 15 mins.
