Cardinal Hinsley School for Boys is relaunching as Newman Catholic College. It is a shame that as a result of Sarah Teather cancelling Building Schools for the Future, this relaunch will not now be accompanied by a rebuild of the school's 1950s' buildings.
On Sunday, the Sunday Times published a story (behind a paywall unfortunately) criticising Sarah Teather for using her position as a minister to secure funding for the Crest Academies in Dollis Hill when 700 schools have had their building projects cancelled. Ed Balls has weighed in against her here. She is reported in the Sunday Times story as claiming that she was simply doing the best for her constituents.
Well if that is what she can do for her constituents in Dollis Hill, why can't she do the same for her constituents in Kensal Green, who go to Newman Catholic College?

This school deserves the opportunity of having a decent building. It's doing some extremely good work with the students in our area and they deserve to have a decent building.
The school deserves a new building. Much planning was done by both the school and local authority before the new government came in. The staff at the school are committed and dedicated. Much effort has gone into improving the provision and quality of education for students. The school has now had two successful OFSTED inspections and given a 'good' rating. The biggest disappointment is that some residents still send students out of the borough to be educated instead of supporting the school on their doorstep.
