DfE: School Capacity 2009/2010 (Final)

DfE: School Capacity 2009/2010 (Final)

Description	This Statistical Release (SR) updates with final information, the provisional data that was previously published on 19 October 2010. It is based on information collected from local authorities as part of the School Capacity 2010 collection. It includes national and local authority level information for local authority maintained primary and secondary schools i.e. on the number of school places, the number of schools exceeding school capacity (and the number of pupils within these schools) and the number of surplus places. Information on the number of places in Academies is also included in this release (collected directly from Academies) and will be presented at school level. The information contained in this release was previously published on Teachernet. We will also publish, for the first time, information on pupil forecasts. Data on pupil forecasts are collected from local authorities as part of the School Capacity collection. In the past these data have not been routinely published but were used for planning purposes. The key points from the latest release are: Maintained Primary Schools Of the 16,964 local authority maintained primary schools, there were: 3,444 schools, 20.3 per cent, that were full or had pupils in excess of school capacity, compared to 19.8 per cent in 2009. 13,520 schools, 79.7 per cent, with surplus places, compared to 80.2 per cent in 2009. There were 4,227,530 school places, and there were: 41,680 pupils, 1.0 per cent, in excess of school capacity, compared to 0.9 per cent in 2009. 458,430 surplus places, 10.8 per cent, compared to 11.4 per cent in 2009. Maintained Secondary Schools Of the 3,122 local authority maintained secondary schools, there were: 916 schools, 29.3 per cent, that were full or had pupils in excess of school capacity, compared to 28.7 in 2009. 2,206 schools, 70.7 per cent, with surplus places, compared to 71.3 per cent in 2009.
