You may be aware that the County Council has consulted on acquiring the University of Hertfordshire’s School of Law premises on Hatfield Road in order to provide the opportunity to open a new 2 f.e. primary school in St Albans city centre.

I am writing to let you know in advance that Hertfordshire County Council is about to make public the potential opportunity to open a new school in St Albans city centre.

The University of Hertfordshire has already announced its intention to vacate the current School of Law building on Hatfield Road. The Local Authority is in early negotiations with the University about the potential purchase of the building for use as a 2 f.e. primary school.

Hertfordshire County Council is now keen to discover the attitudes of the parents of pre-school children in St Albans toward a new school at that location. The following survey has been put in place in order to seek their views: www.hertsdirect.org/schoolplaces
Please find attached a copy of the press release for your information.

Please forward this email to those who may be interested.
