REVOCATION TO THE DECISION TO DISCONTINUE
SPENCER NURSERY SCHOOL
Notice is given in accordance with Schedule 2 to the Education and Inspections Act 2006 and Regulation 21 of the School Organisation (Establishment and Discontinuance of Schools) (England) Regulations 2013 that the London Borough of Sutton proposes to revoke the decision to discontinue Spencer Nursery School, Spencer Road, Mitcham Junction, Mitcham, Surrey, CR4 4JP URN: 102955; and not to implement the proposals.
The London Borough of Sutton published proposals to discontinue Spencer Nursery School on 17 January 2019. On the same date, the London Borough of Sutton published related proposals to expand Hackbridge Primary School by an additional 36 full-time nursery places and to change the age range of the school to 2 to 11 years. Copies of the published proposals are available online at

Copies can be also be obtained from: Laura Byrnes, London Borough of Sutton, People Directorate, Civic Offices, St Nicholas Way, Sutton, SM1 1EA or by emailing

The London Borough of Sutton published notice of approval of the proposals on 21 March 2019 to take effect from 31 March 2020, subject to academy arrangements being agreed for Hackbridge Primary School from April 2020. The reason for the approval of the proposal was to enable joint management and governance of Hackbridge Primary School and the nursery provision at Spencer Nursery School to continue when Hackbridge Primary School becomes an academy.
Hackbridge Primary School is not now expected to become an academy school before April 2020. In the light of this change in circumstances the London Borough of Sutton considers that implementation of the proposals would be inappropriate and proposes to revoke the decision to discontinue Spencer Nursery School.
Within four weeks from the date of publication of these proposals, any person may object to or make comments on the proposed revocation of the proposals by sending them to Laura Byrnes, London Borough of Sutton, People Directorate, Civic Offices, St Nicholas Way, Sutton, SM1 1EA or by emailing

anyone wishing to make a representation regarding this proposal must send their Representations to the address above by 6 February 2020
