Liverpool is in “such dire need” of pupil places the equivalent of two new schools is required.
Cllr Tom Logan, Liverpool Council cabinet member for education and skills, revealed that up to 400 Year 7 places are needed across the city’s schools “over the next couple of years” as the local authority begins to plan its strategy for schools in the next decade.
Following the decision to keep De la Salle Academy in Croxteth open, Cllr Logan told the education and skills committee at Liverpool Town Hall that the council would now work with the UK Department of Education to plan where places would be needed “over the next 10 to 15 years."
