Parents and staff at a Co Tyrone primary school which is facing closure later this year say they are disappointed about what they believe is a ‘misguided’ proposal.
The Council for Catholic Maintained Schools has submitted a proposal to the Education Authority to wind up St Mary's PS, Fivemiletown this summer.
The school, which has 43 pupils and three classrooms, could close from 31 August but a group representing parents, governors and staff believe it currently meets minimum standards set out under the Sustainable Schools Policy Framework.
