There are four new primary schools proposed in plan for this schoool's catchment. Demonstrate proportionality and common sense. Why not expand one of the most successful school's in the Borough - no faith cap as not new school

I totally support the provision of a new catholic primary school on the site as first indicated on the Draft Local Plan at KDBH. I would ask the Council to take into account the expansion of St George & St Teresa School to a 2 form entry school. This is a top performing Solihull school. All children in the Borough should be treated fairly. The school has been oversubscribed for many years and despite Council policy to accommodate siblings and extend other facilities this school has received no such funding, nor expansion on the back of houses already built. The current school site is in call for sites and if the land was released would open up an opportunity to improve transport and parking which local residents are concerned about in infrastructure. Also please could Councillors ensure that planners only allow beautiful development whatever the size of house as this is a one of opportunity.
