The council has decided to drop the plans for a Judicial Review and the merger will proceed as intended. This outcome secures a stable learning environment for our children in the heart of Tynemouth. We will remain attentive as the transition unfolds to ensure the promised improvements to our school …

We, the parents of children at The King's School and Priory Primary, request that North Tyneside Council urgently reconsider their intention to seek a Judicial Review on the Kings Priory merger for the following reasons:
· This merger gives our children the opportunity to go to a school in the heart of Tynemouth village, with their brothers and sisters until they leave at 18.
· With access to a well thought out 'middle school' section, where they will benefit from specialist facilities such as ICT and Science Labs.
· Giving our children the opportunity to go to a local senior school with a 93% 2012 GCSE A-E pass rate.
· Providing the opportunity of an excellent academically focused sixth form rather than having to move schools at this key stage in their education.
· This merger gives our children the opportunity to have class sizes limited to 25 rather than 30.
· Where the children will know the buildings, the playing fields and the teaching staff. Importantly the staff will also know them as they develop through their school years.
· This merger will greatly expand the access and facilities for all children within the Kings Priory Academy.
· Enabling £3M of capital investment to improve the Priory Primary School buildings so there will be no more 20 year old portacabins, flooding toilets and substandard electrics.
· The children will be able to use the extensive facilities at Kings as well as shared access to High Borrans throughout their school years

Reaching this current level of support reflects a shared vision for our schools that goes beyond simple logistics. This momentum demonstrates how deeply we value stability and academic quality for our children.

LET THE MERGER HAPPEN. So much red tape for a common sense solution.
Stop wasting tax money on lawyers and let the school get on with it. This is exactly what Tynemouth needs.
The facilities at the new school will be amazing for the kids. Why block progress? So frustrating.
Ridiculous that the council would try to stop this. My kids are so excited about the new science labs and having everyone on one site is a huge relief.
Best news we've had in a long time. Council needs to step aside.
