4 Troubled Teens Blog

Just two weeks into the new school year, a group of troubled teens is facing uncertainty. The alternative school they were attending in the greater London area has closed its doors.

According to the British newspaper The Harrow Observer, the closure was met with harsh criticism:

The decision to close the centre has been condemned by Stonebridge ward Councillor, Colum Maloney, who said, "In my opinion these vulnerable kids have been completely abandoned. Some of them face massive disruption at vital times of their education and no one seems to want to take any responsibility."

The decision to close the school was made by Edutrust Academies Charitable Trust (EACT), which said the center was no longer viable. The Brent Alternative Education Service says it is arranging alternative schooling.
