Merton Council cabinet member for education Councillor Martin Whelton said: “We welcome the decision of the High Court which shows we have acted both properly and fairly, as we work to fulfil our obligation to provide enough school places to educate children at an outstanding school, close to where they live. There is still a lot of work to be done and another hearing which is required in September, means that we will need to take further legal advice and keep the situation under review as we consider the next steps to take.”
