Today, I had valuable meetings with Tim Oliver, Leader of Surrey County Council, and Michaela Khatib (Head) and Howard Morris (Chair of Governors) of Cobham Free School. There is a good team effort working on the ambition and plans for opening the permanent site at Munro House for the whole school – hopefully, subject to planning permission, by September.
Tim briefed me on the travel plans to manage access to and from the new site, and Michaela and Howard briefed me on the school’s plans. It was brilliant to meet some of the Sixth Formers who recently moved in to the new site. Now we need to get it ready for the rest of the school’s pupils to move in – which will be a huge boost for children and parents in Cobham and across the borough.
