All Saints' School Carshalton

Cllr. Jill Whitehead who is an All Saints’ School governor, says: “A planning application has been submitted for the school expansion of All Saints’ Primary school, in line with the expansion of four other schools in Sutton for this September 2012.       

As has been reported in the national and local press, Sutton has an acute shortage of primary school places.  Sutton has the biggest shortage of primary school places in England and Wales overall (about 130 places short).

Two of the places experiencing the biggest shortages and biggest school population rises are in this ward, Carshalton Central and in the neighbouring ward of Wallington North.  The proposed one form extension at All Saints, which will expand school numbers from 35 to 60 in each year, will help reduce this pressure. The school is also allocating 20% of new places from Sept 2013 to local children who live close to the school who are not C of E worshippers – this will help alleviate traffic concerns.

As previously reported…We have asked the planning department to ensure residents in Rotherfield Road, Carshalton Place and Talbot road are consulted.   The school plans (application no. C2011/65284/FUL) can be inspected during normal office hours at the council offices at 25 Denmark Rd, Carshalton, Surrey SM5 2JG.
