A
business property in Cambridge could be the site of a new school, which will be run by parents.
St Colette's Prep School in Girton is due to close in July, but mothers and fathers set up the Save St Colette's campaign group and have now decided to open their own establishment, the Cambridge News reported.
A
commercial property may be used to house the new Phoenix School Cambridge and Cambridgeshire District Council is said to have proposed the use of an office block situated on a Girton industrial estate.
Prospective students attended an open day over the weekend to find out more about the new institution, the publication explained.
One parent was quoted as saying: "It is a very family-orientated school and incredibly loving. Our children adore it there."
Children aged between three and seven years old can attend the school from September this year and the establishment claims: "Our loving, nurturing ethos will be at the core of our whole school."
