Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of changes to the birth rate on school rolls.

The department’s National Pupil Projections are updated annually to take account of the latest population estimates and population projections published by the Office for National Statistics, which incorporate the latest birth rate trends. The department’s projections are published here: https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/national-pupil-projections/2024.
