Re: Bolingbroke Academy to include Falconbrook as feeder school

We should point out that the admissions consultation has not concluded to date as Laura herself has pointed out. Equally we are not aware of anyone admitting that anything has been flawed. No outcome has been decided and we do not agree that there has been a lot of local support for a re-think. The ...

NSC reply to the Daily Mirror article

The Daily Mirror article on 14/1/11 ‘Class War / Your kids are wrong for our Classes’ contained numerous inaccuracies. While the newspaper might sympathise with the campaigners against a new community school in south Battersea it nonetheless has a duty to present the facts at least accurately an...

Re: Anyone else get harangued outside Northcote Library today?!

There is a lot of comment on here as to why we went with a feeder school admissions policy. This was by no means an easy decision as when any school becomes popular there will always be both winners and losers. Here are the main points which I hope helps those who query why we went with feeder schoo...

Re: Anyone else get harangued outside Northcote Library today?!

Re: Bolingbroke Academy - consultations

Juliantenniscoach The council is currently in negotiation with the NHS Trust to aquire the site for the new secondary school. It has 'preferred bidder' status and the Trust cannot sell to another party until that process is completed. We remain confident the site will open as the Bolingbroke Academy...

The NHS - owners of the Bolingbroke hospital - has recently submitted a residential planning application to Wandsworth council. They want the old hospital to be converted to flats.

Re: New Neighbourhood Secondary School. What do you think?

As part of the NSC team, I think that last post needs some clarification - it adds more heat than light. The NHS owns the site and they are duty bound to maximise its sale value. Which is reasonable enough of course. We spoke to Neal Deans, Head of Estates for the Trust, last summer. They are indeed...
