Parents in North Leeds racing to get primary school places for their little ones could soon be given a welcome boost.

Plans to expand Moor Allerton Hall Primary School by more than 200 places are set to go before councillors this week.

The plans would involve extending the school to a three-form entry school from September 2019.

This would increase the capacity from 420 pupils to 630 pupils over a number of years, with each intake rising from 60 to 90 pupils.

However, it is not yet clear how the school would fit the extra pupils in.

The consultation document said: "At this stage we have begun to develop an idea of how the existing site might accommodate the additional pupils however these plans are purely indicative and do not represent what a final design might look like.

"An option being considered is the potential to utilise the former New Highwood pub site as a relocation proposal for the community centre and the children’s centre which could provide enhanced facilities for the community."
