A proposal to merge some of Birkenhead's primary schools has been slated by a school governor who called Wirral Council’s plans “absolute nonsense”.
The council's controversial plans would see Hillside Primary in Noctorum and Manor Primary in Beechwood merge. At the same time St Peter’s Catholic Primary School in Noctorum and St Paul’s Catholic Primary School would join together.
The council is set to put the plan out to consultation, after the move to do so was approved at a committee meeting on March 10, as pupil numbers in some parts of the town are set to fall in the coming years.
