Kilskeery celebrates decision not to close primary school
A County Tyrone primary school which was facing closure due to low pupil numbers is at the "heart of the community", parents have said.
The Education Authority (EA) carried out a consultation on a proposal to close Queen Elizabeth II in Kilskeery later this year.
The school has 40 pupils and is one of only two in Northern Ireland named after the late monarch.
However Education Minister Paul Givan has now rejected these plans.
