Overview

We are consulting you about a proposal to close St Mary's C of E Infant School and offer places for its pupils at Puttenham C of E Infant School from September 2025.

If the proposal was agreed it would mean that St Mary’s CE Infant would close on 31 August 2025 and its pupils would be offered a place to transfer to Puttenham CE Infant from September 2025. Puttenham CE Infant is an academy school within a multi academy trust called The Good Shepherd Trust. The Good Shepherd Trust would temporarily expand the operating capacity at Puttenham CE Infant from September 2025 to accommodate the children from St Mary’s CE Infant.
