Schools funding data are published annually. This includes data on the number of pupils funded by type of school, so free schools can be identified. The number of pupils enrolled is included in the Census data return, also published annually. The data can be accessed on GOV.UK:

Pre 16 - www.gov.uk/government/publications/schools-block-funding-allocations-2014-to-2015

Post 16 - www.gov.uk/government/publications/16-to-19-allocation-data-2014-to-2015-academic-year
