Public Consultation

Aiskew, Leeming Bar and Leeming and Londonderry Schools

Proposal by the Synergy Schools Federated Governing Board to amalgamate Leeming and Londonderry Community Primary School and Aiskew, Leeming Bar Church of England (Voluntary Controlled) Primary School from 13 April 2026

Leeming and Londonderry Community Primary School and Aiskew, Leeming Bar Church of England (Voluntary Controlled) Primary School work together in the Synergy Schools Federation under the governance of a single federated governing board and this arrangement has ensured that good practice in both schools is shared. The federated governing board have agreed that amalgamating the two schools to create one school across two sites is the next logical step to take and have asked North Yorkshire Council to consult on the proposal.

Synergy Schools federated governing board and North Yorkshire Council have agreed to consult stakeholders on a proposal to create a single primary school serving children aged 4 to 11 and with a governor-led nursery for 2-4-year-olds. This amalgamated school would be created by the enlargement of Aiskew, Leeming Bar Church of England (VC) Primary School and the associated technical closure of Leeming and Londonderry Community Primary School. It is proposed that the two schools will amalgamate from 13 April 2026.

The single newly named Leeming Church of England Primary School would continue to work across both school sites.

Please take time to look at the proposals, and then send us your views by the closing date on 7 November 2025. We look forward to hearing from you.

There will be a public meeting on: Wednesday 15 October 2025 at 6pm At Aiskew, Leeming Bar Primary School, 2 Leeming Lane, Leeming Bar, Northallerton, North Yorkshire, DL7 9AU
