Application for Islamic school with increased capacity in Wanstead

WVD-NOV-2025-5759

An application has been submitted to Redbridge Council to increase the capacity of the former St Joseph’s Convent School in Wanstead, with a view to converting it into an Islamic faith school and associated place of worship.

The site – located at 57 and 59 Cambridge Park – has been vacant since the Catholic school closed in July 2020. Records show the former school could accommodate up to 150 pupils, with the application for a Lawful Development Certificate seeking to increase this to 260.
