Calderdale Council’s cabinet will meet on Monday to discuss plans to address rising demand for school places.
The national increase in birth rate is reflected in Calderdale and, together with other factors such as migration and new housing, has led to a shortage of primary school places.
According to birth rate figures provided by the NHS, it is estimated that next September 775 children will be seeking places in schools in the borough which have a current capacity of 633.
One proposal is to create a “through-school” for ages five to 16 at Halifax High.
