Consultation on the proposed amalgamation of Cathedral Primary School and Hotwells Primary School
Thank you to all those who have responded to the revised proposal on the amalgamation to date. We also thank you for your patience while we review and reflect on the further comments and concerns raised and we appreciate your input into this process.
As a result we have updated the FAQ document over the summer to respond to requests about how the transition arrangements would work for pupils in or joining each school.
FAQs can be viewed here.
The Consultation Information version 2 can be found here
For information only the previous version of the consultation document is here.

How to respond
We encourage you to participate and share your thoughts. Please let us know your views and comments on the revised proposal by emailing consultation@cathedralschoolstrust.org
Please respond by Friday 19th September 2025. Please be reminded the trustees of CST will not make a final decision until the consultation period has closed and all views have been heard. Following the consultation period, if the trustees decide to proceed with the process, they would then make a ‘significant change’ application to the Department for Education who would make the final decision.
Kind regards
The CST Team
