Lambeth School Places Campaign
Lambeth has recently launched a campaign highlighting the need for more primary school places in our borough.
This is an issue affecting many areas across London and beyond, but demand for school places is particularly high in our area, and has gone up by more than 40% in just four years in places.
Lambeth predicts that demand will outstrip supply and a shortfall could develop in school places in the coming years, so it is crucial that a clear message is sent to the government now. The council has already created 300 additional places since 2009 and needs an extra 300 places by 2015.
The campaign website includes further information and details of how to take action on this issue by writing to Education Secretary Michael Gove.
