Not everyone was happy when Brighton and Hove City Council decided to merge Knoll Infants School with Goldstone Junior School.
After all, the two schools had existed happily on separate sites in suburban Hove for the best part of 30 years.
But once the decision had been made parents and pupils at both schools were prepared to knuckle down to the task of coming together.
Now the merger has happened but the schools are still on separate sites because there is a lack of money.
This leaves them both in limbo, which is unfair to everyone connected with either of them.
It would have been better to have left the schools separate than to have one school straddling two sites.
