It's thought the closure of Gloriavale school is more complicated than just finding a new school.   

The Secretary for Education has cancelled the Christian sect school’s licence, forcing it closed from January.  

It's been on notice for several weeks after failing another audit and being ruled physically and mentally unsafe for students.  

Education researcher Liz Gordon told Francesca Rudkin says it's not as straightforward as moving the students elsewhere.  

She wants the ministry to take a group of professional teachers into the community, to allow the kids to be taught there.
