Parents will meet to discuss plans to open a church-run free school.

St John the Baptist, in Chipping Barnet, is inviting people to find out more about its campaign to open the new Church of England primary school in Arkley.

More than 100 people have signed a petition backing the school, which it is hoped will be open by September 2016.

The meeting will discuss the school’s curriculum, admissions policy and ethos and will be held on Thursday, October 2, at 8pm at St John the Baptist.
