It is estimated that existing school places will accommodate all pupils enrolled in August, but temporary accommodation may be necessary at some primary schools to meet the February enrolment. No new schools will be provided in 1964–65 but a primary school for 680 pupils and a secondary school for 1,000 pupils are planned to start in 1965–66 or shortly thereafter.
