Two areas of Knowsley are facing pressures on school places as thousands of new homes are being built in the borough.
According to a report produced ahead of a Knowsley Council children scrutiny committee meeting held this week, while many areas are expected to have sufficient places in the coming years, some areas will be put under additional pressure.
Halewood in particular is facing pressure for primary school places, which will mean a “bulge year” will need to be created in 2022 – a temporary increase in the number of places at existing schools to meet capacity for a particular year.
