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 2015 (relating to academic year 2014/15) can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/school-capacity-academic-year-2014-to-2015

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