School Sufficiency Programme
Camden Council is consulting on structural changes, including potential closures, for four schools facing declining pupil numbers and financial deficits.
Camden Council's Cabinet approved public consultations in November 2026 on potential structural changes for four schools, including St Alban's Church of England Primary School, St Joseph's Catholic Primary School, St Patrick's Catholic Primary School, and La Sainte Union Catholic Secondary School. These changes, which may include reductions in pupil numbers, amalgamations, or closures, address declining pupil numbers, high surplus capacity, and substantial financial deficits.
The public consultation period is set to launch in November 2026. This initiative is part of Camden Council's School Sufficiency Programme, which aims to address challenges related to school place availability, governance, data intelligence, admissions, school finance, and SEND.
