Today in the House of Commons, I asked Education Secretary Damian Hinds what the Government can do to support Cobham Free School to move into its permanent accommodation at Munro House. I was pleased that he agreed to meet with me to see what help the Department for Education can provide to seek early vacant possession of the site.
As local residents will know, Cobham Free School’s secondary department has been in temporary accommodation since 2014. Although it is welcome that the 6th Form is moving into Munro House in September of this year, the rest of the secondary department won’t join them until 2021. I share the frustrations of pupils and parents at this delay.
When I meet with the Secretary of State, I will continue to push for more support from the Department for Education to ensure that Cobham Free School can move into its permanent accommodation, in full, as soon as possible.
