Yarmouth Town Council say it's hoped the application will preserve the premises as an educational and community resource for the residents of Yarmouth rather than the site passing into private hands for redevelopment
A show of hands at the Yarmouth Town Council meeting last night voted in favour of closing Shalfleet Primary school. A governor said the Isle of Wight council had put 'a gun to their heads'
The closure is being proposed due to a significant decline in pupil numbers at the school and significant surplus schools places within the West Wight area
