| From the latest Thamesfied Bulletin:"Free School on former Putney Hospital site: Now that the Primary Care Trust has declared the Putney Hospital site surplus to requirements there is a very real and exciting opportunity to create a new Free School for local children of primary school age. The Putney demographics are such that we will shortly be facing serious difficulties to find sufficient primary school places without a new school. Space restrictions at the current schools in residential areas prevent any significant further build/growth on the existing sites. A very credible provider is interested in backing a Free School for primary children on the former hospital site. We are very keen to hear directly from parents who would be interested in sending their child/ren to the school, and/or to get involved themselves. Please could you email your contact details direct to us at elister@wandsworth.gov.uk; jmaddan@wandsworth.gov.uk or rtorrington@wandsworth.gov.uk Please don’t hesitate to let us know your views at the same time. The demand in Putney for primary school places far outweighs the demand for secondary school places and the size of the site itself is too small for a secondary school for several hundred children, therefore the more viable option for this site is a primary school". Come on parents! |
