I would like to inform the Deputy that exploratory talks have taken place between the trustees of the schools referred to by the Deputy. As with any proposed amalgamation, a decision to amalgamate is a matter solely for the school's Patron or Trustees. My Department's role is to facilitate any such proposals or discussions between the relevant parties.
