Thanks for the link FHMum. It is good to see that Free Schools will not be able to select by ability or by interviews with parents or children.

I notice that there is an ideal of 'feeder nurseries' and I would assume you would include Montessori nurseries in the catchment area, to help parents keep their children in the Montessori system. Personally I would hope that a Montessori school would try to take a higher than average proportion of children with special educational needs, as I understand this method is particularly effective for such children.

If there is to be a free school in PPPL1 I would far prefer to see one that works on the Montessori methods than one that is in direct competition with other local primaries. And it is clear from the report to the mayor that the worst problem of lack of places in Lewisham is in PPPL1 (SE23/SE26). I don't believe this can be adequately addressed without a new school or permanent expansion of existing schools, not just Kilmorie.
