Two academies, Wheatfield Primary School and Windmill Primary in nearby Woosehill, were due to open this September in partnership with GLF schools.
As academies, the schools will be funded by central Government and no longer controlled by the local authority.
Both schools initially had 70 expressions of interest from local families but only 19 children received offers for the 60 planned places.
Only three had actually put their names down for Wheatfield.
