The paragraph "By the Eighties the school suffered from the education cuts of Margaret Thatcher's Conservative party. This was indicative of inner city comprehensive schools around this time." requires a citation. Not least because a former teacher at the school clearly states that it closed and was merged with another school because of falling pupil numbers:

".....but when half the children moved out of the district things became desperate in all subjects.

The only solution was to amalgamate pairs of local schools. This meant that the Woodberry Down and Clissold School buildings were assessed and, while Woodberry Down was a good building, with some very interesting features, the Clissold School site had fewer problems and also room to expand."
