According to a Wallacewell Primary handbook the capacity of the school is about 396.Labour councillors Audrey Dempsey and Thomas Rannachan have been in touch with parents whose children are being separated into different schools.
Calling for an extenstion to Wallacewell Primary, Councillor Rannachan said: “It is creating an anxiety when children can’t go to the same school. They should be looking forward to starting school for the first time. Wallacewell Primary is crying out for a two-story extension. That would alleviate the situation. It is a good school with fantastic teachers in a big catchment.”
There are 13 children on the waiting list for the school. Families are being offered a place at Balornock Primary and will be contacted if any spaces become available.
