Campaign fights to stop school from moving

A campaign group is challenging Surrey County Council’s proposal to move a Reigate primary school across town.

Stop the Move argues that relocating Reigate Priory Junior School from Bell Street to Woodhatch Place will cause unnecessary traffic.

The campaign wants the current location to be updated.

SCC, which has launched a consultation to ask residents their views on the move, said Bell Street did not meet modern learning requirements.

The council said it wanted to ensure an “inclusive educational offer”.
