Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many and which primary schools in (a) Ashfield constituency and (b) Nottinghamshire were full or oversubscribed for the school years commencing September (i) 2015, (ii) 2012 and (iii) 2009.

The Department collects information from each local authority on the number of schools, the number of places in those schools and the number of pupils on roll through the annual school capacity survey (SCAP). The Department does not collect school capacity information at Parliamentary constituency level.

The data is published annually. Data relating to the position in the 2015/16 academic year will be collected over the coming months.

Data for May 2013 (relating to academic year 2012/13) can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/school-capacity-academic-year-2012-to-2013

Data for May 2010 (relating to academic year 2009/10) can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/school-capacity-2009-to-2010-final

The Department does not collect capacity information relating to the position as at September, nor does it collect information on over-subscription.

As of May 2013 (which relates to academic year 2012/13), 76 primary schools in Nottinghamshire were full or had at least one pupil in excess of capacity. As of May 2010 (which relates to academic year 2009/10), 75 primary schools in Nottinghamshire were full or had at least one pupil in excess of capacity.

The individual schools can be identified in the underlying data for each publication by comparing the capacity of the school with the number on roll.
