Consultation on relocation of Islamia Primary School from September 2024
The Governing Board of Islamia Primary School (Salusbury Road, London, NW6 6PE) is proposing the relocation of the school from September 2024, to the site known as the Strathcona site, which is located on Strathcona Road, Wembley, HA9 8QW.
The Governing Board is seeking the views of interested parties through this informal consultation on:
Option 1: A proposal to relocate Islamia Primary School to the Strathcona Site as a 2-form entry school (60 places per year group)
Option 2: The school ceasing to exist from July 2024.
Brent Council has identified capital funding for Islamia Primary School to relocate to the Strathcona site. The current building on the site is a 1FE school with accommodation for 210 pupils. The building is in good condition, but on its own it is not big enough for the current pupils on roll at Islamia Primary School (420).
A feasibility study has identified 5 options to provide accommodation for the school on the Strathcona site.
Option A: A complete new build of a 2 FE school as a 2 storey building
Option B: A complete new build of a 2 FE school as a 3 storey buidling
Option C: Part demolition, part refurbishment of the existing building and a new build for required additional accommodation for a 2 FE school.
Option D: Refurbish existing buildings on the Strathcona site and build a new block to meet 2FE accommodation requirements.
Option E: Keep the current 1FE primary school and provide temporary bulge accommodation while cohorts reduce
Phases
Consultation phase
We welcome your views on Option 1 and Option 2 by submitting a comment
Option 1: A proposal to relocate Islamia Primary School to the Strathcona Site as a 2-form entry school (60 places per year group) as this is the only available site that the Council has identified. The school would relocate to the site once a capital build program to provide sufficient accommodation has been completed and once various approvals have been obtained. The school would be formalised as a 2 form entry school offering 60 places a year.
Option 2: The school ceasing to exist from July 2024. This would mean the school closing by July 2024 with pupils offered places in alternative schools that have spare places. This would most likely be a phased closure with no Reception places offered from September 2023.
We welcome your views on the accommodation option for the school by submitting comments. The 5 options are:
Option A: A complete new build of a 2 FE school as a 2 storey building
Option B: A complete new build of a 2 FE school as a 3 storey buidling
Option C: Part demolition, part refurbishment of the existing building and a new build for required additional accommodation for a 2 FE school.
Option D: Refurbish existing buildings on the Strathcona site and build a new block to meet 2FE accommodation requirements.
Option E: Keep the current 1FE primary school and provide temporary bulge accommodation while cohorts reduce
