Governors at Redhill School in Stourbridge will vote later this month on whether the school should opt of of local authority control. But a protest group has been set up against the proposals amid fears there could be "major" changes to how the school is run.
Around 30 members of Redhill School Concern Group carrying placards gathered in Lower High Street, Stourbridge, on Saturday to promote their campaign. More than 400 signatures were collected on a petition, and group spokeswoman Pauline Faux, aged 59, said there was "a lot of support" from members of the public.
