To cope with an increased number of children in the area, the Council is proposing the expansion of four schools in Burngreave and Fir Vale – St Catherine’s, Pye Bank, Owler Brook and Whiteways. Meetings took place throughout June to give parents the opportunity to have their say on the plans.
Council consults on school expansions
- St Catherine’s
-
St Catherine’s RC Primary School has always nurtured a small-community environment. It is a faith school with a Catholic ethos but teaches all its pupils appreciation and tolerance of other faiths.
This is a longer version of the article printed in the Messenger, and exclusive to the website.
- Owler Brook and Whiteways
-
In Fir Vale, the schools are arranged differently. Owler Brook is a 3-form entry infant school and Whiteways is a junior school, also with 3 forms in each year group. The proposal is to turn each school into a primary school for children from 4 to 11. Each school would have 2 forms per year group.
