The protest march started in Adur Recreation Ground at around 10am this [Saturday, May 13] morning.
Parents have demanded West Sussex County Council reverse the decision to send 28 children from Swiss Gardens Primary School, in Shoreham, to St Andrew’s CE High School, in Worthing.
St Andrew’s is miles away from any of the pupils’ homes and was rated ‘inadequate’ by Ofsted during an inspection last April.
