ONE of Scotland's largest councils is warning parents they may not get their first choice of primary school.
Edinburgh City Council said some families who had applied to popular schools had no chance of getting their child in.
Some schools are still taking placing requests, but numbers of successful applicants are likely to be small, it said. A report to the council's education committee next month will highlight growing pressure on places, with P1 registrations increasing by 3.5% on last year to 4632.
