We are committed to building on Southampton's schools' strengths and ensuring that every child has the choice of a good school where they can achieve their best.
The consultation
Following city wide consultation we have drawn up a final set of proposals to increase the size of schools in the city. The extra places are required to accommodate the increased number of pupils that will require a school place in Southampton in 2011, 2012 and beyond. The consultation period for all the proposals closed on 15 February 2011.
After considering all the responses, a report was taken to Cabinet on 14 March 2011, recommending that all the proposals be taken forward. A copy of the report can be found at the bottom of this page. We can now confirm that these recommendations were approved by Cabinet.
The LA will continue to work closely with schools to deliver these projects, to ensure that we can provide a school place to all children in the city that require one.
The following schools will be expanded as part of the city council's proposals:
Bassett Green Primary School
Glenfield Infant
Beechwood Junior School
Highfield C of E Primary School
Kanes Hill Primary School
Mansel Park Primary School
Moorlands Primary School
