Wolverhampton schools set to be expanded in £15m scheme
A £15 million scheme to expand primary schools in Wolverhampton is set to be approved.
More than 700 extra school places will be created under the plans, with some schools getting new mobile classrooms.
Council chiefs have drawn up a scheme to expand nine schools in a bid to cope with a rising demand.
Five of them - Bushbury Hill, Loxdale, St Martin's CofE, Stowlawn and West Park - will temporarily be expanded by 270 pupils and mobile classrooms built, with a spike in pupils numbers expected in 2015 and 2016.
Four more - Bilston CofE, Eastfield and Manor Primary and Westacre Infant School - will be permanently expanded with 465 places and new buildings.
Education chiefs will consult with schools and make a final decision later this year in time for the 2015 school year.
