She said the progressive step by the DfE recognises the importance and vital role an additional Canary Wharf College will have in helping to alleviate the high demand for school places on the Isle of Dogs.
The second College is being formed by the Canary Wharf College Trust who run Canary Wharf College in Docklands.
