analysis
Children and Young People Board, said: "Councils across the country have been increasing places by expanding schools where possible through additional classes or new buildings. However, without enough resource to provide places, we are seeing some schools having to take extreme measures including converting non-classroom space and reducing playground space. This seriously risks prioritising quantity of places at the expense of the quality of education we are providing. "The process of opening up much-needed schools is being
impaired by a 'one-size-fits-all' approach and in some cases by the presumption in favour of free schools and academies. "Local councils have a legal duty to ensure there is a school
place for every child in their area but they are being hampered by uncertainty and unnecessary restrictions. This could result in parents scrambling for places that just don't exist and threatens to seriously impact on our children's education."
