Parkfield New School will be opening in 2012!

We have been accepted to open in September 2012. Our statement from Tony Spotswood, Chair of Governors, is now on our website. 


We heard from the DfE today that we had been accepted, and the Rt Hon Michael Gove, Secretary of State for Education has announced in Parliament 20 minutes ago that a total of 55 new free schools have been progressed to the pre-opening phase for 2012, from a total of 281 applications. 


We are very excited and we would like to thank everyone who has supported us during our application phase. Lots of work on its way, but we are thrilled to get through and can now provide a real choice for children's education in Bournemouth, Poole and surrounding areas. 


More information will be announced in due course, and among the next stages will be opening our admissions, our public consultation, confirming premises and recruiting our senior leadership team.
