Park site unveiled as site for new Brentford primary school 07:25, 11 February 2015 By Robert Cumber Floreat Brentford would lease part of Brent Lea Recreation Ground from the council, under plans announced this week, with the income used to improve the remainder of the site A new primary school would take over nearly half of a park in Brentford under proposals announced on Tuesday (February 10). Floreat Brentford would lease part of Brent Lea Recreation Ground from the council, with the money used to make improvements to the remainder of the public site. The recreation ground, just off London Road and beside Syon Park, was this week revealed by the council as the preferred option for the new free school's permanent home. The two-form entry free school is due to open at a temporary site, which has yet to be announced, this September, before moving to its permanent grounds in September 2017. Local residents will be able to have their say on the school's planning application. The council said they will also be invited to suggest what new leisure facilities they would like on the remaining land should the new building get the go-ahead. Councillor Tom Bruce, Hounslow Council's education chief, said: "We've been working for some time to avert a shortage of primary school spaces in parts of the borough, so I'm delighted to welcome Floreat Primary School to the borough. "As well as offering a high quality educational option for parents in the area, it will also allow us to improve the facilities at Brent Lea Recreation Ground." Floreat Education's application to open a two-form entry primary school was approved last September by the Government and admissions opened last month. As a free school, it will enjoy independence from local authority control. |
