It is with the greatest sadness that we have to announce that the Schools’ Minister has decided to cancel Mariposa Primary School. Although both the Department for Education and Harrow Council agree that two new primary schools are needed in this part of Harrow, the Council is adamant that the new schools must be on the re-developed Kodak and Civic Centre sites, despite saying last year that they didn’t favour any free school over another. Without Harrow Council’s support, the Minister is not prepared to continue with the project.

It is with great sadness that we have to announce that Mariposa Primary School will not be able to open in September 2018, and we are unable at present to give any certainty about what our opening year will be.

 

 

With great pleasure, we’d like to announce that admissions are open, so you can now apply for a place at Mariposa Primary School for September 2018! For more information about the process and to apply, please see our admissions page.

 

With great sadness we can today confirm that Mariposa Primary School will no longer be opening in 2017, but will instead plan to open in September 2018, in our new permanent site.

Our Head Teacher interviews last month went really well - huge thanks to all the children and teachers at Broadfields and the group of prospective Mariposa parents who came along to help. We are really pleased to say that we have been successful in recruiting our very first Head Teacher.

Mariposa Primary School will be opening in September 2017 with two Reception and a Year 1 class, which means that we are an extra choice for families whose children are due to start school this September.

We are pleased to be inviting applications to join us as our first Head Teacher, and also two roles on our Steering Committee.

Here is a copy of the email we have just sent to our supporters.

We will be hosting an open evening on Tuesday 1st December, 8-10pm at Pinner Village Hall. Come and chat to our team and find out more about how our plans are progressing - book your place online.

Our new name is Mariposa Primary School: Spanish for butterfly. Colourful, outdoorsy, aspirational and with a transformative journey.

We are pleased to announce that following our last Development Evening, we have decided that the language we will teach from Reception is Spanish.

Over the summer are inviting applications from amazing teachers who would like to become our first Head Teacher.
