The first Catholic school in Northern Ireland to try to change to integrated status will not be allowed to do so.
The decision has been taken by the permanent secretary at the Department of Education (DE), Derek Baker.
Clintyclay Primary, near Dungannon in County Tyrone is a small rural school which had 36 pupils in 2017/18.
Parents of pupils there had originally voted in favour of the change to integrated status in 2014.
However, that move was rejected at the time, which led to legal action.
The then Education Minister John O'Dowd in turn appealed the decision to quash his order to close the school.
Following further legal hearings DE undertook to look again at the school's proposal to become integrated.
The Northern Ireland Council for Integrated Education (NICIE) had backed the school.
