00:07problems and a fall in the number of pupils. A newly formed Yehden-Westfield primary school
00:12could be created from September this year, with the merger of Westfield infant and junior schools
00:17creating a single primary for three to eleven-year-olds. The merger is being planned against

00:29Views are being sought from parents, the head teachers of nearby secondary schools and trade
00:35unions. A final decision on the plan rests with Leeds City Council's Executive Board when
00:40councillors meet on the 17th of June.
