Grenfell Tower: Fires

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, pursuant to the Answer of 25 July 2017 to Question 5173, how many children attending St Francis of Assisi Primary School were relocated to an alternative school.

Answer

Kensington Aldridge Academy has delayed the start of its academic school year until Monday 11 September, with a week of off-site residential activities. It will open in its new temporary buildings off nearby Scrubs Lane on Monday 18 September. The expectation is that the vast majority of pupils will be able to start the school year.

The on-going work at Grenfell Tower itself will clearly determine when the school can return to its permanent premises, but we do not currently expect that to be before the summer term of this academic year.

St Francis of Assisi Primary School returned to its premises on 26 June. School admissions are managed at a local level. In this situation we are in regular contact with the Tri-Borough Admissions Team for Westminster, Hammersmith & Fulham and the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea, and at this time we have not been made aware of parents of any children attending St Francis of Assisi requesting to move to an alternative school.
