CONSULTATION ON ADDITIONAL SECONDARY SCHOOL PROVISION IN HACKNEY

The Learning Trust and the Council believe there is a case to increase the number of secondary school places available in Hackney by opening a new provision in September 2014.

The number of children transferring to secondary school annually has been fairly stable over a number of years; around 2200–2300 children. The additional places provided by the new Academies in Hackney have sufficed to offer enough places. This will remain the situation until 2013. In 2014, the number of children transferring is expected to be higher: an additional 150–200 children compared to now.
