I wish to advise the Deputy that the decision making authority for any amalgamation belongs to the Patron/Trustees of the school, and this is subject to the approval of the Department. My Department understands that the school authority will consider the timing of the amalgamation in the context of the delivery of the building project. The project is currently at stage 3, tender stage, of the architectural planning process.
