Calderdale Council are considering the closure of Colden J&I School at the local Cabinet meeting on Monday 9th November due to falling rolls.
Yes there are low numbers, HOWEVER we know how special Colden School is to those who go, and have been over the years...
Once upon a time children travelled from miles away to attend the school because it is such a special place.
As parents and a community we truly believe, that given the chance from the council we can get the school back to this!
We are asking you to consider Colden School as a safe place for your child to grow up.
Children spend 8,760 hours a year at school - let's make those hours beautiful, loving, wholesome, caring, and FUN!!!!!!
Maybe your child is struggling in their current school, or maybe you are looking for a place for your child in September....
Please come and see Colden.
Yes, you will be told the school is at threat of closure and that is scary - but if we can get children in the door then the school will stay open, and stay magical!

A parents story:

So as many people are aware, there is alot of talk surrounding the closure of colden school 😭 as somebody who’s kids have all gone through that school, I’d be well and truly gutted!

but for me the most important part is Renley, he his 7 this year, and he is autistic, and for 2 years he didn’t even want to go to school, he stayed at home for a long time.. so that in its self was a challenge. And finally mr cooper came in to the school , with a smile and a whole lot of support, and whole lot of determination.. and with out a second thought, Renley decided to give it a go again . 🥹😭 and that in its self was a massive success. ..

mr copper , and the teachers at colden school especially Bridgett Frewin makes that place a safe space for Renley.. And he is thriving something I never thought I would see .

For the first time in years, Renley is doing absolutely amazing, he’s gets so much support at Colden J&I School and the way the teachers support him and me… he will never get that at another school.

If it wasn’t for mr cooper and all his hard work and the support from all the teachers I don’t think Renley would have gone back to school ever. and i absolutely owe everything to him.

If colden school closes I fear what will happen to Renley , he wouldn’t settle anywhere else :((

that school as being apart of everyone for years , and it can’t close 😞 .

it’s literally the heart and soul. my kids have all gone through colden school, it’s been a massive part of my life. and all my kids have loved it.

especially Renley . He’s so special!

So please anyone thinking about joining just do it 🥹❤️ you won’t regret it !!

It’s such a happy place to be ❤️❤️🥹🥹
