More than 1,300 people have signed a petition to try to save a school that is set to close next year.
Pupils at Southfield Primary Academy in Brackley, Northamptonshire, found out earlier this month that their school would shut in July 2024, due to a lack of new applicants.
Families claimed their children were "left in tears" by the decision and gathered local MPs, councillors, and trustees to campaign against the closure.
A Department for Education spokesperson said it was not financially viable to keep the school open.
Parents raised concerns about how the closure would affect children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) and feared they could get "lost in the system".
Kim Haynes, who has a child at the school, added: "An ideal solution might be to combine a smaller school and SEND provision for the area."
Dame Andrea Leadsom, MP for South Northamptonshire, wrote a letter to the secretary of state for education and said “a medium to long-term projection of pupil numbers had not been considered".
She said she was “profoundly moved” by the “heartfelt testimonials” of parents, carers and staff.
