Help text
This is the number of pupils in places that exceed their school's capacity for local authority maintained primary schools. It is based on data from the School Capacity Survey and School Census. Primary schools cover year groups reception, and 1 to 6. Primary places include all reported capacity in middle deemed primary schools.

Number of pupils in places that exceed their school's capacity is the difference between school capacity and number of pupils on roll, calculated at school level and then aggregated to national, regional or local authority level.

They include pupils educated in community, foundation, voluntary and middle schools as deemed. Includes academies/free schools places. Excludes all special schools and nursery places.

Number on roll figures are taken from the summer (May) census for the relevant academic year, except for new schools (including schools that have become academies) where figures are based on data gathered during the school capacity collection.
