Primary school expansion programme
Consultation from Monday 10 October 2011 to Friday 11 November 2011
In common with many local authorities, Harrow needs to create more primary school places to meet the growing demand for places.
Harrow's schools are successful and popular with parents and pupils. Our challenge is to find ways to increase the number of places while ensuring that educational standards are maintained. This consultation seeks view on our proposals to increase the number of primary school places across the borough.
Additional Reception classes have been opened in Harrow schools each year since September 2009. To meet the projected future demand Harrow Council proposes to expand 11 schools. In addition to these school expansions, temporary Reception classes would be opened each year as required to meet the full extent of the demand and any fluctuations that arise, and to allow some flexibility and choice in the school system. The majority of Harrow's primary schools will be involved in the expansion programme either through permanent expansion or temporary additional Reception classes.
The schools proposed in this consultation for permanent expansion are:
-
Aylward Primary School
-
Belmont School
-
Camrose Primary School with Nursery
-
Cedars Manor School
-
Glebe Primary School or Kenmore Park Infant and Nursery School / Kenmore Park Junior school
-
Marlborough Primary School
-
Pinner Park Infant and Nursery School / Pinner Park Junior School
-
Pinner Wood School
-
Stanburn First School / Stanburn Junior School
-
Vaughan Primary School
-
Welldon Park Infant and Nursery School / Welldon Park Junior School
Harrow council is keen to know your views, and you can respond until Friday 11 November 2011 by completing our consultation survey (Have Your Say on the right).
The decision made about which schools will be the subject of statutory proposals for expansion will be made by Harrow Cabinet, the decision making body of local councillors, at their meeting on 15 December 2011.
