Sandhurst School in Brighton Road announced yesterday (Tuesday, June 3) that it will close on July 10, because it can "no longer continue to offer the standard of education acceptable to parents, or continue to function economically".

Parents received letters on Tuesday telling them of the closure, resulting in many of them spending the day frantically making telephone calls to try and secure their children new school places before the end of the school year.

Sandhurst, which opened in 1907, currently caters for just 68 boys and girls, aged two to 13, and is run as a non-profit making charity by the Gilmour-Colquhoun Trust.

Jo-Jo's Childcare holiday club will be running at the site throughout the summer.
