The MP for Tiverton and Honiton is backing a local community's efforts to safeguard their primary school.
The future of Farway school is in doubt because of falling pupil numbers.
Parents, teachers and governors are determined to keep it open and they are being supported by the local mayor and county councillor.
Although no new homes are planned in Farway itself, it is thought the school could accommodate pupils from nearby Honiton if the town's two primaries get too full.
