HISTORIC PHOTOS WANTED!
Does anyone have
old photos of
the Village or Belsize Lane? email me and I will arrange to scan and return them.

Cut car use in Belsize
Stop driving to Finchley Rd and
shop daily in the Village. It might
cost a bit more,
but everyone
benefits.

I got rid of my car
and joined the City
Car Club. A huge financial saving, a massive reduction
in hassle and one
less car on the
street.

Belsize Free School Update May 2012
It has been an exciting time for the campaign recently, with Christina and Jill attending an interview at the Department for Education last week along with CfBT colleagues. We were interviewed by a panel of four DfE officials and they asked wide-ranging questions on our educational vision and curricular plans, financial budget and evidence of demand.
We feel we got our vision, passion and dedication across and with CfBT providing significant guidance and support we hope the DfE will agree that we collectively have the expertise to open and run a primary school for which there is huge demand. We expect to hear before schools break up for summer whether there will be a new one opening in September 2013
DfE contractors will also be undertaking a couple of site visits at potential interim sites for the school. We are still looking for a permanent site in or close to Belsize, so if you know of anywhere we may not have considered, please do get in touch.
In the meantime, thank you for your continued support and please carry on spreading the word!
