The rally on the steps of City Hall saw speakers address fellow parents, angry over plans to take King Edward VII School out of the control of Sheffield Council, and to put it into the Brigantia Learning Trust.
The Star was there to cover the rally – and here we share a gallery of the pictures we took of the crowds and the individuals who attended the protest, many carrying banners and placards to show their feelings on the plans.
Take a look through our gallery, below.
