Children have their say on School Merger plan

April, our Education correspondent

There has been a plan to merge two academies in Aberdeen. Linksfield Academy is on King Street and St. Machar Academy is on St. Machar Drive.The Schools are quite near each other but many of the pupils and parents don't think that a merger would work.

  • St. Machar Academy pupils do not get on with pupils from Linksfield Academy.
  • There are too many pupils and Mr Taylor, the head teacher, cannot be in two places at once.
  • Steps will be taken to increase links between the academies in a bid to increase subject choices.
  • I asked some of the children in p.7 class for their opinions. Ten pupils thought it was a good idea for the merger to

    take place and 19 did not think it was a good idea.

    Do you think Linksfield and St Machar should merge?

    Playstation games and books

    Final Fantasy is coming out on Playstation 2. Every one’s mad about it and they’re still mad about getting Playstation 2s but they’re still really expensive. There were more than 10000 PS2s sold.

    In St Peters School everyone wants the "Horrible Histories". Most people have got them.
