School co-location is all wrong, claims parent

Primary schools will share campus from September

One of the vocal opponents to a school co-location in the capital this autumn says the move is a negative step forward.

Claire Wells claims the move of St Thomas' Church of England school to the Scoill Vallajeelt site, where there is unused space, amounts to religious segregation.

St Thomas' has limited outdoor space and is in need of investment but will retain its own identity with education chiefs insisting a shared campus will benefit children from both schools from September.

Mrs Wells, a mother of two at Vallajeelt, strongly disagrees.
