Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, pursuant to the Answer of 12 February 2019 to Question 218343, if he will publish the criteria by which The Hoo site was determined to be unsuitable for Abacus Belsize Primary School in Belsize Park.

Answer

Following an extensive site search, the department purchased the Hampstead police station for Abacus Belsize Primary School. The Hoo site has been judged unsuitable because the existing listed building on the site is not large enough to cater for a school of this size without a new build extension and considerable remodelling.
