Plans for new Primary School

Add Comment

Plans are in place for a new primary school to be built in the local Tooting area; however these will only come to fruition with the support of parents in the area. The potential new school would admit 60 children in each year, eventually creating places for 420 children, ranging from ages 4-11.

Plans are in place for a new primary school to be built in the local Tooting area; however these will only come to fruition with the support of parents in the area. The potential new school would admit 60 children in each year, eventually creating places for 420 children, ranging from ages 4-11. The school would be run in partnership with one of the area’s top performing secondary schools, Graveney School. This would allow the new school to be overseen by Graveny, but would still have its own head teacher and primary phase teachers. The school would be run as an educational trust. The new school is planned to be opened on Franciscan Road in September 2013.

There is a meeting for Friday 10th February at the Professional Centre in Franciscan Road between 2pm and 5pm.
Parents are now being urged to register their views by taking part in a survey of local needs organised by Graveney. The deadline for registering these views is Friday, February 24, 2012.

They can complete the brief online survey at www.graveney.org or return a copy of the questionnaire contained in a leaflet about the new school that is circulating throughout Tooting. Copies of the leaflet are also available at Tooting Library and at nurseries and playgroups in the area.

Parents can also email responses to consultation@graveney.wandsworth.sch.uk or write to Graveney School, Welham Road, Tooting, London SW17 9BU.
