Concerns have been raised that there are not enough secondary school places in Shrewsbury to cope with soaring demand from new housing developments.
With all secondary schools in the town currently at or over capacity, Shropshire Council has come under fire for sending children to schools on the other side of the town from where they live.
She said: “Column and Sutton division has many hundreds of new homes, and residents often express concern that their children will not have a school place when the time comes because they live in new homes and fear inadequate infrastructure is in place. She also stressed that the whole town was in one secondary school catchment area and parental preference was unpredictable, meaning it was not always possible to offer places at families’ chosen schools.
