Education bosses are faced with a juggling act to make room at a number of schools in Glasgow following a surge in demand., with many children have been turned away from their nearest schools.
Nearly a dozen Glasgow schools were forced to turn away children in their local catchment areas, according to the latest figures.
There was also high demand at a number of primaries including Ibrox, St Monica's in Milton, St Angela's and St Francis. But due to "movement" of pupils the high schools were not above their pupil cap as the academic year got under way. There were a total of 46 children on waiting lists for the Gaelic schools and other squeezed primaries on July 31.
