iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).Lambeth have launched three stage 1 consultations regarding the Lambeth Nursery schools' Federation. These consultations have been launched to seek the views of all in the local community about potential closure of three of our schools.
Please note that no decision has been made and all responses will be collated and reviewed before deciding on any further discussion or decision making. The links below have gone live as of 9am Monday 2nd February 2026.
We would encourage as many people as possible to respond to the consultations, particularly if the closure of any of the nursery schools would have a negative impact on you or your child.
