To no ones great surprise, Barnet Councils planning committee yesterday approved the use of the site of Mill Hill Garden Centre for conversion to Etz Chaim Free School.
I suppose it is ironic to note that today the Jewish Chronicle reports that there may be too many places at Jewish Primary Schools - http://www.thejc.com/news/uk-news/51993/sinai-asked-take-non-jewish-pupil. As Etz Chaim will be taking up to 50% of non Jewish pupils, I suppose it won't struggle for numbers. I wonder what contingency plans the school has made should they have to provide an education to a non religious majority, should the Jewish places be undersubscribed?
Hat Tip to Daniel Hope at the Barnet Bugle for drawing my attention to the story.
