We urge our local councillors to support the above planning application for change of use of The Lodge and Annexe, Harmondsworth Lane, UB7 0LQ from B1 Offices to D1 for an independent primary school.

We understand the Islamic Shakhsiyah Foundation school aims to developing an educational programme that enables young Muslims to gain confidence in their British and Islamic heritages. By running a low fee-paying full time school, this organisation is providing an opportunity to Muslim families which allows them to move their children from a dual system of primary schooling during the day and after school madrasah, to a full time education that allows children to play and engage in other after-school activities. By being open to children of all faiths and to those who are not religious, this school will provide opportunities for local children to learn from each other.
