Invitation for Community Meeting re Michaela Community School: Monday 18th July 7pm Ethelred Estate Community Youth Club 7 Lollard St SE11 6QH

Dear Neighbours

As many of our members are aware, a new secondary school, Michaela Community School, has been proposed to open in the Lilian Baylis Old School this autumn.  The school is being proposed by Katharine Birbalsingh, who has featured in the news lately.  The school would be one of the proposed ‘free schools’ that the government is encouraging parents and community groups to set up.
 
Many people are curious to know more about this school and how it will relate to our neighbourhood state schools, which are under Council jurisdiction.  To this end, the Kennington Association has set up a meeting with Katharine Birbalsingh so that she can present her plans and we will have an opportunity to question her about them. 
 
KA is not endorsing the plans but, given the interest KA has always had in this site, we should hear all proposals, including the Council's.
 
The meeting is scheduled for:
Monday 18th July 7pm
Ethelred Estate Community Youth Club
7 Lollard St SE11 6QH

Anna Tapsell
Chair
