To ask the Minister of Education how he is currently engaging with relevant stakeholders to ensure that parents of prospective pupils are aware of, and included in, all discussions regarding plans for the transition process, following the amalgamation of Coleraine High School and Coleraine Academical Institution.

The North-Eastern Education and Library Board advises that following my approval of a Development Proposal to establish a new Co-Educational Grammar School in Coleraine, an Interim Board of Governors for the school has been established, comprising equal representation from Coleraine Academical Institution and Coleraine High School. In accordance with TNC 2013/2 (School Reorganisation Agreement) the Interim Board of Governors will conduct all necessary business in respect of the establishment of the school.
