About This Data

  • •Data sourced from the National School Census for 2024/25, collected each January.
  • •This is not live data. For current availability of places, contact the school or local authority directly.
  • •Capacity refers to the maximum number of pupils a school can accommodate. Schools may operate above or below capacity, and spare places may only be available in certain year groups.
  • •Persistent absence means a pupil missed 10% or more of their possible sessions during the academic year. Absence rates during 2020–2022 were significantly higher due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
