If you are a parent of more than one school aged child, just remember what mass Immigration has done for you when you are dropping your children off at different schools.

/// Quite a funny article, considering that immigration was higher under the Tories than under Labour, and also considering the Tories' plans to cut education spending. ///
The Tories have only been in power for the last 5 years, so the children of those immigrants have little effect on schools, nurseries maybe but not schools.

/// Immigrants don't bring their children with them, AOG? ///
No they leave them at home and then claim British Child Benefit for them.
/// Anyway, it's not so long ago that the papers were complaining about the schools facing closure due to lack of pupils. ///
Where was that, the Outer Hebrides?

Svejk, I may be mistaken but I never, ever 'make facts up'.
"According to official figures, then number of primary schools in England has dropped from 18,234 in 1999 to 17,041 this year. Some 164 have shut in the last 12 months alone. The number of state-run nursery schools has also dropped by 83 to 439 since 1999.
Councils point to a corresponding drop in the primary school population across the country."

Sjevk, that is an old story about councils closing schools because of the declining population and forecasted placement requirements.
I said in my original post that it is not so long ago the schools were closing due to lack of pupils and I was correct. Lots of schools did close because there were not enough pupils at the time. That inevitably led to a shortage of school places when the birth rate increased and immigrant children needed schooling.

/// Unless every one of the 80,000 is from a non-immigrant family, how can it be said that immigration has cost them their places? ///
Where does it say they are none-immigrant pupils or immigrant children?
It just says that there isn't enough places to accommodate children in the schools of their choice, due to the migrant baby boom.
Simple enough if one removes one's rose tinted specs.

You need to make your mind up AOG. If they leave them at home, how can they be taking up school places?
If , on the other hand, the children are taking up new primary school places, as the article claims, then they were probably born in the last five years, under the Tories.
