Diocese of Guildford spokesperson said:
“We have now received communication from the Department for Education (DfE) regarding the former Ripley Church of England Primary School site.
“We note that the DfE is minded to transfer the main school site to the Local Authority (Surrey County Council) and to leave the pre-school building in the care of the site trustees.
“We are carefully considering the implications for the Diocesan Board of Education and will decide our next steps in due course.”
