Red-faced council chiefs have apologised over a blunder which has left a Renfrewshire primary school facing capacity worries less than a year after its doors opened.
New analysis has suggested space could be needed for as many as 1,100 pupils in the catchment in the future – a figure that is more than double Dargavel Primary's current roll of 463 children.
The facility in Arrochar Drive, Bishopton, has an intended capacity of 548 but it has now been estimated the register could soar to around 600 to 620 by August 2023 and even further to between 685 and 705 the year after that.
