Schools face closure or merger as pupil numbers plummet
Briefly

Faced with a falling birth rate and people moving out of the borough, Islington Council has proposed closing The Blessed Sacrament Roman Catholic Primary School and merging Montem Primary School with nearby Duncombe Primary School next summer.
The undersubscribed primary saw an 18 per cent drop in numbers this year and has the lowest pupil count in the borough with 76 out of a possible 210.
Parents can respond to a council consultation until Tuesday, December 12 and the council will make its final decision in March.
