Under section 15 of the Education and Inspections Act 2006, the closure of Nevill Road Junior School is considered necessary on the basis that it is to be amalgamated with another school (Nevill Road Infant School)

The primary school’s pupil capacity would be 420 and will offer 60 Reception places every September. The amalgamated primary school would continue to operate on the existing school site under a single governing board and headteacher. 

All children attending Nevill Road Junior School on the date of amalgamation would automatically have a place at the primary school. No children would be displaced by the proposals.

The proposal is not related to any other school organisation proposal which has been or is about to be published.
