Elfrida Rathbone Camden statement:
A spokesperson for the Trustees of Elfrida Rathbone Camden said: “We are disappointed to announce that Leighton College will be closing at the end of this academic year. Leighton College has been committed to supporting young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). However, due to the financial viability of the college, and issues highlighted by Ofsted, we’ve taken the incredibly difficult decision to close the provision.
“We will be contacting parents and carers individually, and our focus is now on working with learners, parents, and carers to help them to find suitable alternative education from September. Our wider charity will still operate so we can continue our valuable work to support local communities.”
