1 Many people in our community already see the Infant School and Junior School as one school since they federated. The amalgamation will only make this more final. It will make the transition between the two school's easier therefore better for the welfare of the children and easier for us, the parents, as it will eliminate the need the apply for the Juniors when moving from year 2 to 3. I see the only negative for the amalgamation is he lump some the Junior school will use however this is only a negative because the school already has it. Many, many schools only have one lump some and have been absolutely fine. Both school's are wonderful schools and I personally have never known a more caring and helpful school. If one was to become a academy and the two school parted it would be awful for our community, the wonderful staff that work at Wavell and most of all our children. I as many other parents do, fully support this move. Yes Yes Parent Wavell Community Schools' Federation None
