ClassroomTwo of Telford’s four specialist education units catering for teenage parents and youngsters with behavioural problems will be axed in the autumn, it was revealed today.

The Aqueduct Education Centre and Stafford Park pupil referral units are to shut in September. Telford & Wrekin Council’s units in North Road, Admaston, and New College, King Street, Wellington, will continue.

Council spokesman Russell Griffin said a review had been carried out with the aim of “introducing a more streamlined model”.
