We are absolutely delighted that the Council has confirmed in writing that Kings Heath Primary School is no longer on the list of schools considered for expansion, which means it will form no part in the upcoming consultation process.
Thanks so much to the children, parent and wider school community who make this both a very effective and enjoyable campaign.
The Council has emphasised that it has a statutory duty to ensure all children and young people in this city have a school place. Demographic projections suggest that Kings Heath Primary School may need to be considered for expansion again at some point in the future. However this would only be if additional adjoining land and/or buildings can be acquired.
We welcome the fact that the Council shares our concern that the current site is already too small and cramped for any further expansion. We would like to thank Councillor Les Lawrence for responding so swiftly to the concerns of the parents.
A massive thank you to everyone. This would not have happened without your support showing the sheer strength of feeling towards the school. It goes without saying the planned public meeting will not now be going ahead as we today bring the campaign to a close.
Thanks
