Budgeting for the expansion of some of the borough’s schools will be discussed by councillors this evening.
Harrow Borough Council has received more than £34million from the Government to pay to increase the size of schools in the area to help with increased demand for school places.
At a meeting of the full council this evening members will discuss proposals to include £9.583m into the 2013/2014 budget to allow the programme to begin.
Earlier this year the council ran a consultation for the second phase of school expansions with 11 schools in the borough earmarked to have the number of classes increased.
Eight schools have already been expanded under the first phase and the council hope it provide 3,000 places in primary, secondary and special educational needs schools by 2015.
