“ I'm a Barnet Society member and live very close to the proposed school. I therefore recognise all the concerns around traffic etc and these must be addressed. But I also have children nearing secondary school age and I can assure you of the urgent need for additional capacity in the area. We have a dysfunctional local system with a failing school (Totteridge) and an inaccessible one (QE Boys). High Barnet needs and deserves a new, high-quality secondary without delay. ”
