Upton's Hill School is likely to be closed and sold as part of merger proposals with hanley castle High School because it should raise more than the sale of the older Hanley property. In view of the uncertainty of ownership, it is unlikely that buildings or land at Hanley which belong to its Foundation Governors, could be sold to finance building at the Hill, but the Hill site could be sold for a substantial capital receipt.
