In my opinion the published backers of this academy are mostly looking to save themselves school fees when they can well afford them.

There is absolutely no reason for this school to be built when there are spaces in the secondary schools in the area. Both Wandsworth and the Government will have to put millions into building this unnecessary school, which will be taken directly from the other schools in Wandsworth. It would be a disgrace if this school were to be built.

Hard working successful local schools are without repairs and maintenance money. The lump sum was never there when needed for them. How can this be a fair system?

It is a wonderful school for my bright, able, musical son and he is being pushed and stretched. However the school is in need of basic refurbishment. The school are also being presented with Hobson's Choice of becoming an Academy. If they don't it will mean staff cuts and larger classes.

Such snobbery against it, one that consistently achieves an outstanding OFSTEAD and beats it own results annually. As a parent at Chestnut Grove I'm super impressed by the management and staff. It beats everyone why there is so much support for a new school like this. There must be more money and leverage on the table for Wandsworth Council - who are losing all the other schools to acadamy status - it's all gone 'political'. they forgot the kids!

The set up costs alone do not represent good use of public funds.
