Concerns have been raised as three primary schools in the same area of Wrexham are either full or oversubscribed.
A total of nine children have been denied entry to Ysgol Penrhyn in New Broughton, despite five of them attending the school’s nursery and many living nearby.
Brynteg County Primary School and Black Lane School in Pentre Broughton, which are the two nearest schools, are also said to be full.
Local councillor Alan Edwards said it had left parents in a dilemma over where to send their children.

He has now criticised Wrexham Council’s education department after claiming officers became aware of the impending surge in pupil numbers three years ago, but had failed to take action.
