PARLIAMENT will hear the plight of hundreds of pupils who may find their school closed.
Newly elected Reading East MP Matt Rodda has tabled a motion for the House of Commons to debate the issue.
It reads: "This House believes that Chiltern Edge School should remain open; is concerned that Oxfordshire County Council is consulting on its closure; notes that this is a much loved school and that there is a growing need for school places in the area; and supports the wishes of parents, teachers and students to keep the school open."
The motion will see MPs from across the chamber discuss the school's future after the county council began consulting on the possible closure of the school.
The Reading East MP said: "The pupils are wonderful and deserve the chance to be able to continue to grow and improve there.
"I look forward to continuing to work with the School as the consultation period goes forward."
The consultation runs until June 30.
