Thanks. Do the witnesses not think that the situation is strange? The bishop is patron of one primary school and a trustee of a neighbouring primary school. A proposal is made to close the school of which he is patron and to move the school of which he is a trustee into it. Do the witnesses not see the conflict of interest that could arise by having one individual as a patron of one school and a trustee of the neighbouring school? Would they agree that it is not the ideal management structure?
