I am a concerned parent whose child attends Holy Family Kidbrooke Primary School, which is under threat of closure. This school isn't just an educational institution for us; it's a piece of our community's history nestled in the heart of Kidbrooke, London. It is the only historical building left in our area and its potential loss would be devastating.

The school has been serving our community for generations, providing quality education to thousands of children. Its closure would not only disrupt the education of current students but also erase a significant part of our local heritage.

Moreover, closing this school could exacerbate overcrowding issues in other local schools and increase travel times for many families. According to data from The Department for Education (DfE), primary schools are already operating at near capacity across London with some areas experiencing severe shortages.

We urge the relevant authorities and diocese to reconsider their decision and explore alternative solutions that preserve this vital part of our community. We believe that every child deserves access to quality education within their local area and preserving historical sites like Holy Family Kidbrooke Primary School contributes significantly towards maintaining a sense of community identity.
