The Patron of this school has indicated to the Department that he wishes the school to continue while fully acknowledging that the difficulties at the school have to be resolved.

I believe these matters must be dealt with in a fair and balanced manner. The Patron and Board of this school are entitled to support in their endeavours to bring about the required improvement and like any other school with an adverse WSE report they must be granted reasonable time to do so.

My Department's focus is to support the school in bringing about the desired improvements.
