Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many (a) primary state-funded schools, (b) secondary state-funded schools, (c) sixth-form colleges, (d) 16-18 state-funded vocational colleges and (e) state-funded nursery schools closed in the last 12 months (i) in total and (ii) by region.

Information on closures of state-funded schools, sixth form colleges, vocational colleges and nursery schools is available on the Get Information about Schools (GIAS) website, which can be found here:
https://www.get-information-schools.service.gov.uk/Search?SelectedTab=Establishments.

GIAS records a number of different reasons for closure, including closure as a result of amalgamation, closure where a school has been replaced by a successor institution (including academy conversions), as well as outright closure of provision.
