Schools across Bristol will be upping the number of places available to children this September in a bid to stop a repetition of the annual school places crisis in the city.

Schools who have upped their intake include:
Cabot Primary
St Barnabas Primary

Filton Avenue Infants
Horfield Primary
Little Mead Primary
Westbury-on-Trym Primary
Christ Church Primary

Six other schools in the city will also be getting 22 new classrooms over the coming weeks.

The council are hoping to create an extra 355 places for reception age children with the action.

Cabinet Member for Children and Young People, Councillor Clare Campion-Smith, said: “We know demand is going to continue, which is why we are currently meeting head teachers to help inform a school organisation plan to address long-term needs for school places in the city.”

May Park Primary – two storey, four classrooms
