Gloriavale Christian School will remain open for now after its board sought a judicial review of the Ministry of Education’s decision to cancel its registration as a private school.

Secretary for Education Ellen McGregor-Reid informed the school of the decision last month.

The cancellation was due to take effect today.

However, McGregor-Reid confirmed the ministry has agreed to allow the school to remain open after the High Court yesterday granted interim orders preventing the cancellation from taking effect.

She said the community and the ministry have agreed that the school will remain open until the matter is heard.
