“It is creating an anxiety when children can’t go to the same school.'
A GLASGOW primary school is so full it has had to turn away children whose older brothers or sisters go there.It is understood a number of nursery children have not been accepted into P1 despite siblings attending and being in the catchment area.Labour councillors Audrey Dempsey and Thomas Rannachan have been in touch with parents whose children are being separated into different schools.
Calling for an extension 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.”
It is understood kids are already being taught in two portable cabins at Wallacewell Primary as the main building doesn’t have space.Families are being offered a place at Balornock Primary and will be contacted if any spaces become available.
