| Well I was with a group of parents last week. Apart from one parent saying we need a new primary and secondary school, everyone wanted to see a new secondary school for Thamesfield. One parent said they had already emailed Justine Greening asking that the site be made a secondary school. This parent, along with others I have heard of, has been unsuccesful in getting their child into the much improving Ashcroft Academy (even though they live in the Lacy Road area). Unfortunately with Elliott on special measures, parents are trying to sell up so they can get into a secondary school elsewhere. We go to Leaders Gardens a lot. I have NEVER heard anyone say Putney needs a new primary school, parents real worries are about secondary schools. The new free school does not have my support and I am very worried about the effect this will have on my son's school, Hotham (which he loves) and the other primaries in Thamesfield. |
