Success. Earlier today the Dept of Education announced that they’ve agreed we need at least one more primary school and possibly another two.
Funding for one new primary school to open September 2014 has been approved – http://www.education.gov.uk/schools/leadership/typesofschools/freeschools/b00222077/pre-opening

Our campaign for more primary school places to solve the pending places crisis has taken a massive leap forward due to your support and help. Thank you.

Background. By 2016 our area will have a shortage of 215-235 primary school reception places. That means we need 2 to 3 new primary schools around the Dulwich, Forest Hill Road, Nunhead areas. The Harris Federation agreed to apply for funding to open a new primary school with vision of being in the top 10% for results and progressions of English schools. The Judith Ker bilingual school have confirmed a site in the SE24 Southwark Herne Hill area.

Next step. Parents and members of the community are invited to attend a public meeting to discuss the school on Tuesday 11th June, 7.30pm at Harris Girls’ Academy East Dulwich, Homestall Road, SE22 0NR.
