Bristol secondary schools are again being asked to take extra pupils to make up for a desperate shortage of Year 7 places in the city.
The council hopes about six schools will agree to have new classrooms built so they can take up to 60 extra students each in September, and that others will agree to "nominal pupil increases", a new report shows.
The building work for the "bulge classes" will be paid for with £6million of Department for Education (DfE) funding, the city cabinet report shows.
