Dear families We wanted to thank you for your support for the Lidl planning application for their proposed redevelopment. Over 500 people from the community completed the survey or wrote letters of support and one of the local councillors described the level of support as 'unprecedented'. We are very disappointed to let you know that the planning committee decided to refuse the application, this was despite the local support, the support of local ward councillors and from James Brokenshire MP. The decision was made on the grounds that the land is designated for industrial use in the Mayor of London's 'London Plan'. This policy sets out an economic, environmental, transport and social framework for development. We have been in touch with Lidl today who are reviewing their next steps but remain determined to pursue with options to develop the site. Thank you again for your support, we will keep you updated.

About our school

Hope Community School, Sidcup is part of The New Generation Schools Trust. It was the first Free School to open in the London Borough of Bexley. The school opened its doors in September 2013, with a Reception class of 30 children. We increased our numbers year on year until we reached a full capacity of 210 primary pupils from Reception to Year 6 in 2019. Hope Community School, Sidcup is a mainstream primary school of Christian designation, open to families of all or no faiths. The school predominately serves the Cray Meadows ward, including Foots Cray, North Cray and surrounding areas.
