Plans to create 300 extra school places at a secondary school in Roundhay are expected to be approved this month.
Leeds City Council wants to spend £4.8 million on expanding the capacity of Allerton Grange School from 1,200 to 1,500 by September 2021, to create much-needed secondary school places.
The Labour-run council says there has been a "significant increase in the number of primary school places available across the city over the last decade" but there is a rising demand for secondary school places.
The plans are expected to be approved by the council's decision making executive at a meeting on Wednesday, February 12.
The council decided to move forward with the expansion plans after a one-month public consultation.
Over 100 people responded to the consultation and 52 supported the expansion while 48 were against the plans and six remained neutral.
If the project goes ahead, the school will start admitting 300 Year 7 pupils in each academic year from 2021, instead of 240.
The school’s current sixth form and Deaf and Hearing Impaired (DAHIT) department won't be affected by the expansion.
Originally, the council had planned on creating more school places by joining Moor Allerton Hall Primary School with Allerton Grange School to form a through-school.
But those plans were scrapped in 2018 after both schools performed poorly during Ofsted inspections.
