Councillor Crookdake (Mortlake and Barnes Common Ward) has given notice that at the Education and Children’s Services Committee meeting this evening she wishes to present a Ward Concern that Thomson House School governors are concerned that the safety and wellbeing of its pupils is being compromised by its current location.

Agenda for Education and Children’s Services Committee on Thursday, 26 March 2026, 7.00 pm – London Borough of Richmond upon Thames

There is history here. On 3 March 2026, Council Leader, Gareth Roberts stated that the Council does not own the THS site by the level crossing. It appears that this was misleading. The Council owns the site and has leased it to THS for 125 years.

Let’s hope we get a straightforward answer this evening.

More to follow tomorrow.
