Introductions & Project Problem Primary schools currently experiencing population bulge but 17% more children a year putting pressure on 95% first choice Plymouth secondary school expectations not yet a major concern for multi-agent modellers from council, health and education; Parents and children relationship when deciding secondary school of greater value to participants; How might parents and children select schools best matched to their needs in an uncertain future?
