I wish to advise the Deputy my Department has received correspondence from the patron of the schools in question requesting approval to amalgamate along with change of status to co-educational and provide a new school on a new site.
The decision making authority for any amalgamation or change of status is the patron/trustees of the schools, subject to the approval of the Department. This request for amalgamation and change of status is currently under consideration.
