The UK’s first state-funded Hindu school will be opened in London, the government has announced.
The Department for Education and Skills said it would give £9.8m to Harrow Council in north-west London, for the single faith school.
The borough, which has the highest percentage of Hindus in the UK, hopes the school will be open by 2010.
The I-Foundation, a Hindu charity that has campaigned for the school, said it was “delighted”.
A spokesman for the council said it would begin the consultation process soon but that the location of the school was commercially sensitive.
