Education Secretary Gavin Williamson and North West Durham MP Richard Holden AN MP has launched a campaign to prevent the formal closure of Wolsingham Sixth Form. Richard Holden, MP for North West Durham hopes to keep Wolsingham Sixth Form suspended so it can be enjoyed by future students. The Sixth Form was formally moved to a suspended status in 2019 due to low pupil numbers – to be financially viable, the Sixth Form would need 100 pupils in each academic year. Two years after a suspension of a school or sixth form, a formal review is currently taking place to formally close a facility.
