Little Ilford School is a coeducational secondary school located in Little Ilford in the London Borough of Newham in London, United Kingdom. It enrolled 1434 students[1][2] and has been described by Ofsted as outstanding in their last inspection in 2012.[2]
Construction of new building
[edit]In 2014, it was announced that Little Ilford School would be part of the Priority School Building Programme (PSBP), a government scheme to rebuild or refurbish school buildings in the worst condition, after its original building was deemed not fit for purpose.[3][4] Under the programme, the school started the construction of a new £22.8m four-storey building, designed by CPMG with the construction contract being awarded to Wates.[5][6] The demolition of the original school building was executed at the new building's completion and all students and staff moved to the new facility in 2016.
Planned expansion
[edit]In 2019, Newham Council announced proposals to expand Little Ilford School from 10 forms of entry to 12 due to a forecasted increase of Year 7 admissions after September 2019.[7] This would increase the school's capacity from around 1,500 students to 1,800 and initial budget estimates show a cost of £13.1m. Staff have expressed concerns for the proposals, claiming they will affect the quality of education in the school, with 85% stating they have concerns or major reservations.[8] 7 of the school governors voted in favour of the plans, 5 against and 2 abstained. National Education Union members organised staff walkouts and strike action in protest of the proposals.[9]
