RE: Governor-Led Consultation

Proposal to Amalgamate

 

13th January 2025

 

Dear Parents and Carers of Our Lady of Dolours and St Mary of the Angels Catholic Schools,

 

We hope you are well.  As Chairs of Governors at the above schools, we are happy to propose details of a new Catholic educational offer for your child.  This involves an amalgamation of Our Lady of Dolours Catholic Primary School and St Mary of the Angels Catholic Primary School.

 

Please see the Consultation Document below which explains the proposal in detail, provides a background on how and why this proposal has come about and how you can have your say. This proposal has been developed as a result of substantial discussions between the governing bodies of the two schools over a period of time, together with the diocese of Westminster and the Westminster City Council.      

 

We must stress that this is a consultation and we really want to hear from you.

 

We sincerely hope that you will see the exciting opportunities that this proposed amalgamation may bring, as well as safeguarding local Catholic education that can be sustained going forward into the future.

 

We very much look forward to seeing you at your child’s school stakeholder meetings which will be held as follows:
