Kingston has been handed out nearly £4.5m to create extra school places.
The Government has awarded a grant of £4,478,921 to the borough to address its school places crisis. The Department for Education made the announcement yesterday. Politcians in Kingston welcomed the news.
The grant aims to plan for and deliver school places 36 months in advance. Last year Kingston Council missed out on the chance to build a primary school after the Planning Inspectorate ruled in favour of land acquisition company Goldcrest who hoped to build student flats.
Free schools Kingston Academy and Kingston Community School are expected to open in September - the latter at a temporary site. Gem Surbiton Primary Academy is also due to open the following year.
