I really welcome the Parents Notify system, which will allow parents to have that single point of application rather than having to ring six or 12 schools. I know of two schools that are already at capacity. One school has students coming in from a primary school in September. Its building works are at stage 2A, we will say. It is not going to be ready for next September and these kids will not be able to start. They will have to go to a school perhaps an hour away or get home tuition. I know we can plan for SNAs and SEN hours but is there a plan to rush those buildings through?
