Plans to move an infant school onto a junior school site have been rubber stamped.
Classes and staff from West Hove Infant School’s Connaught Road site will move into Hove Junior School’s Holland Road site from January next year.
Members of Brighton and Hove City Council’s Children, Young People and Skills Committee did not call the move for debate which means the recommendations go through automatically.
Three-quarters of the 101 people who responded to the public consultation carried out in September and October backed the move.
Connaught Road was opened as a four-form entry infant school with 12 classrooms while the Holland Road site is a four-form entry junior school with 16 classrooms.
Hosting both schools on one site would require 14 classrooms.
Both schools are currently undersubscribed with Hove Junior (Holland Road) operating as a school with three-form-entry and West Hove Infant (Connaught Road) with two forms.
The schools will continue to remain separate entities with their own uniforms and the same class groups.
The proposed move does not affect the Portland Road site of either the infant or junior school.
