The High Court is required to reconsider its decision to quash the Minister of Education’s decision to close Clintyclay Primary School, the first Catholic school in Northern Ireland attempting a transformation to integrated status.
The Minister had announced his decision after considering a proposal for closure and a proposal for transformation to integrated status. He considered that low enrolment numbers (of 30 children) meant that it was no longer sustainable. Due to this long term situation, switching to integrated status was not considered feasible.
