Nearly a dozen Glasgow schools were forced to turn away children in their local catchment areas, according to the latest figures.
bosses say there has been a surge in demand. Some popular schools managed to increase capacity to squeeze in extra pupils, but new admission figure show many children have been turned away from their nearest schools, and offered places elsewhere.
St Monica’s Primary in Pollok and St Monica’s in Milton have ended up offering more places than their “agreed” pupil numbers, after finding extra classroom space to cope with demand.report said it was considered “necessary to increase capacity for four secondary schools to make room for catchment pupils at St Paul’s, Bellahouston Academy, Knightswood Secondary and Hillpark Secondary.”
There also wasn’t enough room for all the children living in the local catchment areas for Glendale Gaelic, Glasgow Gaelic Primary and Calton Gaelic so pupils were offered places elsewhere.
