Pen Green offers a nursery school, early years places, parent and child groups and support, special educational needs support, a research and development base and a teaching school from its site on Rockingham Road. Ms McGhee said: "The people making the decision are delusional if they think that the decision is not going to have far bigger repercussions for Corby and for the children and the families.
