Kensington and Chelsea Council is reviewing primary school place planning to address financial and operational risks from surplus places.

Kensington and Chelsea Council initiated an independent review in June 2026 to address financial and operational risks arising from a persistent surplus of primary school places. The ISOS Partnership is conducting this review, which aims to inform future school organisation and sufficiency planning. Draft reports and recommendations are expected to be presented to the forum for discussion and approval.

Separately, Lambeth Council's Audit and Risk Committee approved its work programme for the upcoming year in June 2026. The committee also reviewed the council's action plan in response to external auditor recommendations, focusing on financial health and risk management.
