There’s plans to expand 11 schools in Surrey from September to meet the rising demand for places.
If they go ahead, 1020 Primary and 650 Secondary places will be created – meaning 1670 total.
It’s some way short of the 11,000 extra school places said to be needed over the next 5 years, but Linda Kemeny the Council’s Cabinet member for schools says “it’s a step in the right direction.”
