The authority says it could address 'financial and operational challenges' at two primary schools.
A steering group, which includes governors from both schools, recommended that the amalgamation went ahead.
"It is the view of the Steering Group that this decision will lead to the development of a stronger, sustainable school that will be best placed to meet the needs of children, parents/carers and the wider community into the future," the council said. The authority said it was approached by the governing bodies of both schools and asked to support the amalgamation "to address several financial and operational challenges".
Conservative councillor Scott Edwards, executive member for children, families, education and skills, said: "Supporting children in their education is very important to us and it's important that as many people as possible have their say to make sure that everyone has had their view and all sides of the issue have been fully explored."
