Proposal and Statutory Notice for the amalgamation of Holy Trinity and Fenstanton.

The Southwark Diocesan Board of Education (SDBE) has formally withdrawn the statutory notice, published on Monday 12 May 2025, to open a new voluntary aided school in Tulse Hill. On 17 July 2025 the Office of the Schools' Adjudicator, overturned Lambeth’s decision to close Holy Trinity Church of England Primary School, Tulse Hill and Fenstanton Primary School. Both schools will remain open, therefore there is no need, at this time, for a new school.

We remain committed to ensuring that the two schools continue to work in partnership will continue to work together to ensure any future plans will best serve the needs of the Tulse Hill community and support the delivery of high-quality, inclusive education.

We greatly appreciate the support, engagement and feedback from all stakeholders during this process.
