Report by Director for Children, Young People & Families (CMDSI5).

Grove CE Primary School has a published admission number of 15 children. For children starting school in September 2010, 21 parents listed Grove CE Primary School as their first preference, and the school agreed to admit more than their admission number to meet parental demand. Due to the high number of primary school applications within the Grove area, the school eventually accepted 29 children into F1. For September 2011 the admission number has been raised from 15 to 25, and it is now proposed to raise it to 30 from 2012 to create a full 1 form entry school. 

The Cabinet Member is RECOMMENDED to note the contents of this report and confirm that the proposal to expand Grove CE Primary School should continue as described.
