Draft Local Plan Review: the need for increase in primary provision at St George and St Teresa RC School, Solihull

Good evening,

In response to the Draft Local Plan Review we would like to highlight the need for increase in primary education proposed in Items 4, 8 and 9.This directly impacts on the education of our children at St George & St Teresa RC School and we request to be considered in the planning of this provision going forward.

During recent years local development has been substantial and whilst Local Authority Schools in the area have been increased to meet demand St George & St Teresa has not. We have been forced to exclude children in parish and with siblings in our school.

The size of our catchment area to include new developments at Balsall Common, Hockley Heath and additional potential impact from Blythe Valley, as well as Knowle and Dorridge demonstrates a need which should be addressed.

We look forward to hearing from you in the near future to confirm receipt of our email and how Solihull Metropolitan Council will proceed to meet the needs of families with school age children in our parish.

Yours faithfully,
