L Prentice4 years ago I vote for Option 2 to close the school.I have lived in the area of proposed school site for 22 years. The residents of this area have not asked for a new faith school in their area. We have a lot of primary schools within a 1 mile radius of the site. Brent has available space at a lot of other Primary schools. Almost a quarter of pupils at IPS are from outside the borough presently. Many will be living in the area of the current school site. This will mean existing and any future pupils will be transported literally miles by train, bus and worst of all car to reach the site. This cannot good for the pupils or the environment.The road access is narrow and leading roads to it are heavily speed bumped with parked cars either side. This will lead to more traffic jams and dangerous crossing points for children.Brent council does not need to succumb to ultimatums from the school governors and pay millions for a school to move. Meanwhile children in other primary schools do not have enough funds to cover costs and the IPS children could be moved to spaces at these other schools instead.
