School to be merged with Deaf Centre?
Parents who have their children at one of Camden's most deprived schools are campaigning to stop plans to merge their building with a centre for deaf children.
Edith Neville School struggles with 92 per cent of its pupils having to learn the language - and one nursery class has no English-speakers at all.
Camden Council has decided that the primary school in Ossulston Street, Somers Town, should share its site with pupils from Frank Barnes School for the Deaf - whose building in Swiss Cottage is being bulldozed for a city academy.
The council's idea is for the two schools to be co-located in a single building. It has suggested that surrounding open space could be used to give the school more room - although this would take away land from residents.
Parents are writing letters to the council, signing a petition and last week marched on the town hall (pictured).
