Primary School Campaign – a breakthrough!

by tomsimon on 21 July, 2009

Good news at last on primary school places. Following a suggestion from a Belsize parent, Camden Council has secured the use of classrooms for up to 90 children at the Hampstead Hill School site in Courthope Road in Gospel Oak. It’s not ideal – Courthope Road is too far to the east – but it’s a lot better than nothing. Parents are to be congratulated for their patience, determination and ingenuity. If Camden had stuck to its Plan A – temporary classrooms on state school sites – then we certainly wouldn’t have had a solution for September. 

 

 

The new site will be directly managed by Camden’s Education Dept and will be open to all those children still unplaced. With 60+ pupils on the site it should be easier to persuade the government of the need to fund a new primary school or expand existing schools in the area. Please could as many of you as possible reply positively to the consultation: http://camden.xarg.co.uk/surveys/respond?survey_id=365476  If you have any detailed questions about the plan, then please do get in touch.
