Who has made several attempts to gain Free School status. They have no place being housed in the park. <br /><br />The fact that they have not been planned for should be highlighted. The council are fully aware of the schools existence and that its the only one of its kind, but yet it was not planned for in all the building works that is taking place in Stonebridge where its currently based. Development of Stonebridge has been ongoing for several years. <br /><br />I think the answer is glaring - It's an Independent School!!!! and is not funded by the public sector and are responsible for it's own accommodation and running costs.

If the school has been in Brent since 1958, where was the school before that? Let me remind all readers and Wembley residents that the King Edward VII Park celebrated it's 100 years centenary in 2014. The park was opened in 1914. So the park has been around for 100 years and the school being in Brent since 1958 is far too short a number of years in comparison. The school, should they be granted planning permission, will not be welcome by many Wembley residents in the park location. I feel very sorry for the school. Brent Council have failed in providing them an adequate new location that does not adversely impact on Wembley and Brent residents. BUT, the school can look elsewhere. WHY BRENT??? WHY DO WE BRENT RESIDENTS HAVE TO LOSE OUR BOWLING PAVILION AND SOME OF OUR 100 YEAR OLD PARK to this INDEPENDENT FEE PAYING SCHOOL????<br />Note: NOT ALL THE SCHOOL PUPILS' PARENTS LIVE IN BRENT SO WHY CAN THEY NOT LOOK TO EALING or CAMDEN or HARROW - THEY ARE NOT WELCOME IN OUR PARK (FULL STOP)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129943063330427887.post-57461184324042348172015-01-09T20:16:46.214+00:002015-01-09T20:16:46.214+00:00If you read the reasons those sites were ruled out...If you read the reasons those sites were ruled out, they're on distance, as well as other issues. The school has been in Brent since 1958 - the only reason they're in this position is that they're being thrown out of Stonebridge. These are not welathy parents, and most are very local.

After all, is this country not a democracy with a fair and just planning system or are councils allowed to get away with effectively giving public land to whichever organisation they want to? Will any other councillors stand up for King Edward VII Park and open space or will they burry their heads in the sand? Let us remind the councillors that elections are coming and the residents of WEMBLEY will not forget or forgive them for not representing us!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129943063330427887.post-14120510377262701182015-01-09T18:53:51.891+00:002015-01-09T18:53:51.891+00:00The list of some 98 alternative sites the school s...The list of some 98 alternative sites the school say they explored include sites as far as Kent, East London, Hayes, Greenford...and others outside Brent.
