The three primary schools in Leeds will see less demand for places in future, a council report says.
The number of new pupils at three Leeds primary schools should be cut due to falling birth rates, a report says.
Council officials said reception places should be reduced from 60 to 45 at the schools, which would enable headteachers to financially plan ahead. The change would affect Greenhill Primary in Bramley, Oulton Primary near Rothwell and Gildersome Primary in Morley.A report to councillors said that, although the city's population rose by about 8% between 2011 and 2021, about 15% of reception places in primary school were unfilled in September 2022.
"The birth rate in Leeds has been declining over recent years and in the locality of these schools, we are expecting less demand for places in future years," it said.
