The nursery at King Charles School could be closed and the building used as a 'creativity hub'.

Headteacher Lee Moscato spoke to the Packet about the uncertain future of the nursery, saying "it might not be financially sound to continue" due to a fall in numbers.

The school's governors will hear feedback from parents up until April 18 before making the decision on whether or not to close the nursery.

If Mr Moscato's plan does go ahead, the school would be able to access additional funds through the Falmouth Multi-Academy Trust (MAT).

The school's head says that he would use the funds to refurbish the building and improve facilities for art and music classes.

So far, he says that the idea has had a mixed response.

Mr Moscato said: "As it stands we're just exploring our options about how we move forward. Like with everything, there's always going to be positives and negatives."

In a newsletter to parents, Mr Moscato said that the school is short of additional learning space and that some music lessons "take place in the library or other spaces that are not fully conducive to effective learning".

He cited the decline in numbers of children at the nursery in the last few terms and the increase of other providers in the town as reasons for a possible closure, also taking into account the projected numbers for September.

Consultations with Cornwall Council, the Regional Schools Commissioner and the Diocese will inform the decision making process along with feedback from parents.

There were 19 pupils in the nursery in the year ending summer 2018.

If governors agree to his plan, this could be the nursery's last year.

Mr Moscato is inviting feedback from parents to be submitted by April 18.
