Best of Today - Today Listener Series: The disappearing children
Download Today Listener Series: The disappearing children
All this week the Today programme is looking at stories that have been brought to us by our listeners.
Vanessa and Toby are parent governors at a secondary school in South London. They have noticed far fewer children and families where they live, and primary schools closing down as a result.
Exclusive research for Today has shown that primary school numbers have fallen by 5% in London in the last five years. And they are projected to continue falling at double the rate of the rest of England.
Listen to the other stories explored by our listeners this week on Radio 4 and BBC Sounds between 6am-9am.
