The council has updated its plans to expand primary school places after parents complained over proposals.

Wandsworth Council hopes to create 24 new forms of entry at primary schools by 2020 to meet a rapidly rising birth rate and are consulting to create 210 new places by September 2014.

Following more than 400 objections from parents at Broadwater Primary School, Tooting, the council decided to cancel plans to add an extra reception class at the school.

Revised plans include four new reception classes in Hillbrook, Sheringdale, Albemarle and Granard.

There are also three new free schools accepting pupils from this autumn, which is hoped will ease the strain on school places.

The Mosaic Jewish Primary School (MJPS) is set to open within the confines of the former care home Hartfield House, in Roehampton Lane, with its services to be transferred to Earlsfield.

Mosaic will initially admit 30 pupils a year, with half of the pupils of Jewish faith.

Leader of the council, Councillor Ravi Govindia, said: "This is set to be a very satisfactory outcome not just for the MJPS and local parents, but also for people who use respite services and also council taxpayers in the borough.

"If planning consent is granted, the school will have a permanent home and be in a much better position to plan ahead for its long term future.

"The transfer of respite services from Hartfield House to a more modern building that has been fully refurbished will mean a better service and better accommodation for the people who use respite care."

A new two form entry school is opening in Franciscan Road, Tooting sponsored by the Graveney School, while two forms are being admitted to Rutherford House School, located in the former Balham Youth Court building.

Councillor Kathy Tracey, cabinet member for education, said: "The council is working hard with local schools to ensure there are enough reception places to satisfy the demand from parents.

"There is heavy and sustained pressure on school places and we need to make sure that we provide enough places for all the children who need them."
