An overcrowded primary school has finally been promised that it will be
"prioritised" for a new extension – but education chiefs say there is no
money and no timescale for the work to be carried out.
Parents
of children at South Morningside Primary have been campaigning for
years to get money to address the overcrowding problems, which mean many
children have to eat lunch in classrooms, miss out on lunchtime play
and also fail to meet national targets which say they should do two hours of
PE every week. They have finally been told of the "positive
result" that will see the school prioritised for an extension, but this
is likely to be several years away as the council's capital budget for
projects such as this is fully committed until 2014. Full story from Edinburgh Evening News |
