The governing board at John Chilton School, working in partnership with Ealing Council, are seeking views about permanently increasing the capacity of the school to help meet the increased local demand for places.
Full details on the proposal can be found in the
John Chilton School consultation on expansion to 160 pupils document
Proposed provision
John Chilton School currently has a planned capacity of 130 pupils.
The school had a total number of pupils on roll of between 86 and 99 during the school years from Sep-2014 to Sep-2017.
Since then, demand for places has risen significantly, particularly at secondary phase, and the school formally increased the planned capacity to up to 130 pupils to cater for this increased demand for places from September 2020. To facilitate this, the school and local authority set up the additional Orchard site for the school in an existing building at Wood End Primary.
The number on roll at John Chilton School has since risen to 160 to meet demand for places. The proposal is to implement that increased capacity through the required statutory process.
