DfE confirm full school rebuild
The DfE have confirmed significant investment in a full school rebuild. At present, the initial surveys and information is being collated. There is currently no fixed date for works to begin and the pre-survey part of the process can take up to 4 years! We are working with the DFE and Haringey to ensure that we support any and all pre-planning works to take place.
It is not expected that 'spades in the ground', the final stage of a rebuild process, will happen until at least 2028 at the very earliest. This is a very loose estimation based on very early discussions with key partners and may be subject to change. We will keep parents and potential parents informed should there be any changes.
The council will continue to support Hornsey School for Girls throughout the run up to, and during, the rebuild project to ensure that it can continue to provide an excellent education to all its pupils. The period since RAAC was discovered has been challenging, but there is now clarity that the school will have new facilities to support it and will be continuing to deliver excellent education outcomes.
The expectation is that any rebuild will take place across the campus and will not impact the cohorts coming into the school - so please rest assured, impact of any building will be minimal as the project gets underway.
