To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what the average class size was for (a) primary and (b) secondary schools in (i) Colne Valley constituency, (ii) Kirklees, (iii) West Yorkshire and (iv) England in each of the last seven years.

Average class size figures for state-funded schools are calculated and published annually in the statistical first releases available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/statistics-school-and-pupil-numbers.

A national summary of average class sizes for key stages 1 and 2 and secondary is in the link to national tables, tables 6a and 6b respectively.
