Nearly 600 school places have been created in Elmbridge as part of the biggest schools expansion project in Surrey.
Surrey County Council was granted permission earlier this month to add 210 places at Hinchley Wood Primary School and 150 places at Heathside School, Weybridge.
This week, the council also announced it will provide an additional 210 places at St Alban’s Catholic Primary School, East Molesey, along with building new facilities.
Linda Kemeny, Surrey County Council’s cabinet member for schools and learning, said: “Since 2010 we have created 10,300 new places for pupils, enough to fill nearly 345 classrooms, and will continue to pull out all the stops to guarantee every Surrey child gets a place at a local school.”
