Agreement was reached some years ago, between the management authority of the school referred to by the Deputy and the authorities of two other primary schools in the area to amalgamate. A new eight classroom school is currently under construction to accommodate the amalgamated school. A decision on the amalgamation of these schools rests primarily with the Patron, subject only to my approval. I understand that the Patron has communicated with the Parents Committee of the school. It is now a matter for the Patron to officially appraise the Department of his position.
