Rodford Primary School to close

South Glos Council is proposing to merge Rodford Primary School with Kings Court School on Sundridge Park with effect from next year. This follows falling pupil numbers in both schools over the last few years. If the amalgamation goes ahead Rodford School's Barnwood Road site will close.

Once formal notice is issued in September people will have six weeks to comment before the executive member for schools formally approves the proposal, but the merger is very likely to go ahead.

The Gazette has more details on the schools merger.
