The threat to close Queensway Primary in Leeds caused unnecessary 'anguish', the council is told.
Councillors have been urged to apologise for their handling of a primary school which has been saved from closure.
Teachers, parents and children fought to keep it open, with a council saying a consultation on its fate generated the "the highest level of responses ever". The move came a week after Labour councillors voted down motions from opposition members who had called for the process to be paused so concerns could be addressed.Andrew Carter, the council's Tory opposition leader, said the "screeching U-turn" was a "humiliation" for those in charge of the authority.
"It would have saved some level of anguish. It was perfectly obvious to most people that mistakes had been made."
