In January 2022, Rachel Keeling Nursery School entered a federation with Children's House Nursery School as part of a sustainability measure. At the time we knew this was the first step towards a longer term solution. We now find ourselves in the position where we need to act to further secure the outstanding provision on the Rachel Keeling site for generations to come.
The governors of Children’s House and Rachel Keeling Nursery Federation are, therefore, proposing to end the current federation and considering a proposal to amalgamate Rachel Keeling and Globe Schools to form a single school with a single governing body, with nursery provision continuing on the Rachel Keeling site. The proposed amalgamation will come into place on 1 September 2025 and children will continue to attend the Rachel Keeling Nursery site for their nursery education.
The school level consultation ran from Monday 9 September - Monday 14 October 2024 and is now closed. The report by Helen Jenner is below.
Following this first consultation, governors of Children's House and Rachel Keeling Nursery School agreed unanimously with the proposal to end the federation between our two schools. They voted unanimously with governors of Globe Primary School to proceed to local authority consultation to amalgamate.
Thank you all for your support and we are hopeful this next step will ensure we are able to secure a rich long-term future for quality education in the local community.
We will publish updates on the local authority consultation here.
