With respect to you and Paul.

Whilst it may have been discussed nothing is being done to address the shortage or to actively engage with residents on this very point.

If you look at the Fairlawn playground at lunchtimes it is unbelieveably overcrowded. There are two bulge classes there currently from previous years making 16 classes and approximately 480 pupils on a fairly restructed site. Lunchtime bruises and bumps are ever present. I get called frequently about it.

As a parent I will be resisting the imposition of any further bulge classes at Fairlawn as I do not see why certain schools- and children - should bear the brunt of overcrowding.

Its common knowledge that federating is the way to legitimately expand state schools. However I would at this moment even welcome Harris there which is quite a seachange from me.
