Expand Balcarras School to Meet Local Demand
We urge Balcarras to work constructively with Bournside on alternative measures to meet current and future need in Leckhampton, Cheltenham. As part of these measures, we call on Balcarras to expand as necessary to meet the need of Leckhampton families living in their own priority catchment area.
Why is this important?
We the undersigned consider the ‘Leckhampton Corridor’ senior school place issue to be a serious and growing problem for the families and community affected. We note that many Leckhampton children are losing out on places at their two nearest senior schools Balcarras and Bournside.
This disadvantages children who have to take extremely long journeys to and from schools further away. We further note that Balcarras have objected to Bournside’s proposals to revise their catchment to tackle this problem.
