SECTION 77 OF THE SCHOOL STANDARDS & FRAMEWORK ACT 1998 AS AMENDED

The Secretary of State has directed that the general community should be consulted about any proposed disposal of playing field land, as defined In the above legislation.

The Spring Partnership Trust have amalgamated Dorset Road Infant School with Castlecombe Primary School and created Elmstead Wood Primary School. All pupils at Elmstead Primary School can be accommodated at the former Castlecombe Primary School site and the Dorset Road Infant School site has been vacant since 2019. The amalgamation was approved by the Department for Education, on agreement that proceeds from the disposal of Dorset Road Infant school are allocated to improve facilities at Elmstead Wood Primary School.

The Spring Partnership Trust no longer requires the site and have returned it to London Borough of Bromley as the freehold owner. The Council proposes to dispose of 0.124 hectares of land, or thereabouts, known as Dorset Road Infant School, Dorset Road, Mottingham, comprising an assortment of buildings and hard surfaced playground, which has been declared surplus to requirements. A plan showing the area to be disposed of together with additional information can be inspected at www.bromley.gov.uk/consultation.

Any person who wishes to make representation regarding the disposal of this land should do so, in writing or by email, to the Director for Education, London Borough of Bromley, Civic Centre, Stockwell Close, Bromley BR1 3UH or by email to School.Organisation@bromley.gov.uk quoting 'Former Dorset Road Infants School' no later than 5.00 pm on by 5 December 2022.
