A PITCH for a community takeover of Soho Parish School will be made at the primary.

A newly formed Soho School Community Committee says it is ready to present a ­business plan to the school’s governing body and leaderships team.

The school has been threatened with closure due to a drop in admissions.

A project to shut the building in Great Windmill Street and join forces with All Souls in Fitzrovia has hit the buffers.

The SSCC statement said: “Soho Parish is, like many London primaries, facing financial pressure, but it remains a strong, close-knit CofE school with a level of community support and a breadth of offering for its children that is ­genuinely rare.

“It is precisely because parents, former parents and the wider community believe so strongly in what this school gives its children that a large group has come together as the Soho School Community Committee.

“This group has drawn up a business plan ­showing not only that it is possible to run the school as a CofE local authority-backed primary without an operating deficit, but also that it can thrive into the future.”

After a merger with All Souls was blocked by the Fitzrovia schools governing body, Soho Parish governors chairman John Ong has warned: “While the option of amalgamation is no longer under consideration, the need for something significant to happen remains.”

He wanted that the school had a £300,000 gap in its finance every year and that the school rolls had fallen from around 100 pupils to just 65 by September.

The meeting is in the Great Windmill Street school’s hall on Tuesday from 6pm.
