Parents at the 53-pupil Straid Primary School near Ballyclare have voted for a change to integrated status in a bid to save it from closure:
A County Antrim primary under threat of closure has formally applied to become an integrated school.
The primary is the only school in Straid village and is two miles from the nearest alternative school in Ballynure. However, the minimum number of pupils in a rural primary recommended by the Department of Education is 105.
