Dear Sirs,

RE: New Primary School for Barkingside

As a resident of the London Borough of Redbridge I would like to register my support for for the Council’s bid to provide a much needed community primary school on the site of the current Ilford Jewish Primary School.

A community school would provide the best opportunity for promoting cohesiveness and inclusiveness as well as high levels of educational attainment. The Local Authority are best placed to educate and support children and young people to live and work in a ethically, culturally and socially diverse borough such as Redbridge.

I believe a non-denominational Local Authority maintained school will help maintain excellent relationships between the diverse groups within the borough and provide the best opportunities for local children to realise their full potential.

Yours sincerely,
