Soho Parish School Facing Closure

Soho Parish School Facing Closure

Published 4 days, 15 hours ago
Description

Soho Parish Primary might be closing its doors and merging with All Souls Primary in Fitzrovia as early as next April, fueled by plummeting pupil numbers—down to just 81 kids. The new combined school, tentatively named All Souls with Soho Parish CE Primary, could open at All Souls’ current site in April 2027, led by the existing headteacher. While Westminster Council backs the plan, critics argue it’s a politically motivated move, citing funding cuts that’ve crippled historic schools and calling for a pause to scrutinize finances. Public consultation kicks off in June, but some insiders say it’s already a done deal—raising alarms about transparency and public trust.
