The Brent Council Executive gave approval at a meeting last
night (23rd April) to St Robert Southwell RC Primary school being
included in the next round of school expansion plans.
The Executive agreed to expand the school by .5 FE (Form of
Entry) by September 2013. The school was previously shortlisted back in August
2011 and has been moved up the list due to increasing demand for
places at the school in the Kingsbury area.
The Council will now discuss the plans with the Westminster
Diocese.
The Council and School will need to undertake a Statutory consultation
exercise and if this is completed by September 2012 a start can be made with a planned completion by August 2013.
Fryent Councillors Jim, Ruth and George were delighted with
the news. Cllr Ruth Moher said “We have been aware of the pressing need for
school places at St Robert Southwell for some time. I am sure parents will be
pleased that the Council have acted to secure additional places in the school
for local parents.”
