The local community and catholic primary schools are both full and predicted to be so when this development is scheduled. An estimated 40 primary school places would be required, plus 6 fte early years places.

At secondary school level the local school has spare capacity at this time but the overall demand for secondary school places from this and other developments in the Europa Way, Harbury Lane area will have to be taken into account. The development could be expected to generate some 28 secondary school pupils plus 7 sixth form pupils.

It is understood that this number of houses may grow and from a purely school organisation this may be helpful as a figure in the region of 700 to 800 houses would make the development of a larger, 2 FE primary school site more viable for that area. Clearly the secondary, post 16 and early years implications indicated above would also be significantly greater.
