Had thought the old St.Anne`s Convent site , latterly King Fahad school at Little Ealing was a contender.
This extract from westlondonfreeschool.co.uk may be helpful:- We’ve extended our site search to Hounslow, Brent and Hammersmith and Fulham and are zeroing in on some very promising prospects. Those of you who live in Ealing shouldn’t be disheartened by this since we’ve been granted permission by the Department for Education to admit most of the pupils via a lottery. That is to say, if the school is oversubscribed we’ll allocate some places to looked after children, some to children with Special Educational Needs and some to those who live locally, but the majority of places will be allocated on a completely random basis, regardless of how far the applicant lives from the school. Not only will the absence of a catchment area give every interested parent a fighting chance, it will prevent more affluent parents from being able to, effectively, buy a place at the school by moving in to the right neighbourhood. We want every applicant to have an equal chance of getting into the West London Free School, regardless of how wealthy his or her parents are.
