The Department does not hold data on the number of children being educated in temporary classrooms.

The Department has begun a new school Condition Data Collection (CDC), which is due to be completed in autumn 2019. The CDC will provide a high-level assessment of the state-funded school estate in England and its condition, which will help inform future funding policy.
