A Co Tyrone primary school under threat of closure is seeking integrated status in order to keep its doors open.
Gillygooley Primary School in Omagh has submitted a bid to become an integrated school as a separate proposal from the Education Authority seeks the discontinuance of the school.
The local school, which has 27 pupils, has been granted a grace period to submit the proposal, which would see it joining the list of primary schools across Northern Ireland with integrated status.
