Hide AdDrumahoe Primary headmaster Terry McMaster said there was a sense of frustration and bewilderment in the village following the decision, which was taken by the Department on June 17.
Mr Hider echoed these concerns but said the Playgroup will continue to provide the high standards that are in place.
“The staff have carried on under the difficult situation of not knowing there future,” he said.
Drumahoe is the only Controlled Primary in the city, which does not have statutory nursery provision on its school grounds.
