The consultation on the move of Islamia Primary School from its Queens Park site finished in November 2022 and since then there has been a wall of silence from the Yusif Islam Foundation, the school and Brent Council. The school is due to move in September 2024 after refurbishment and new build on the former Strathcona site in Preston ward.
The result is anger, frustration and rumour from parents and community.
I have lodged an FoI result with Brent Council to try and get some very basic information LINK:
Dear Brent Borough Council,
Please provide:
1. Details of the outcome of the public consultation on the proposed move of Islamia Primary School that was completed in November 2022.
2. Update on when the school will move and operate on its new site (previously proposed for September 2024).
3. Update on any statutory consultation.
The Twitter account Dignity Custodians has been very vocal from the beginning of the relocation proposals.
Hello
a member of staff told parents that the Foundation planned to use vacated premises for the independent schools & a feeder primary school. Is this why you want
as far away as possible? #Strathcona #Profit
This confirms what a member of the governing body told a group of parents 3 years ago when there were attempts to turn the school into a one Form Entry and give priority to siblings of pupils attending the independent schools which was in breach of the #AdmissionsCode.
This GB member also said that
gave Islamia a "poor" catchment area and suggested Somali parents open their own school. The school's admissions policy has recently been found " unlawful and discriminatory " by the #OSA. Parents have reasons to fear discrimination.
