Proposed Free School in West Barnes

A proposal has been submitted to obtain permission for a new "free school" in West Barnes.  This would be a new primary school, initially catering for 48 children of Reception age (4-5 years) and building into a full primary school, catering for children aged 4 - 11 years.  Free Schools are all-ability state-funded schools set up in response to local demand, in order to improve education for children in the local community. 

The proposal for the West Barnes area is being led by the local Doxa Deo church in Raynes Park.  A Steering Group has been established to guide the submission process.  The application process has now reached its final stages and we are awaiting news of the outcome.
