Schools: Admissions

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, to which English parliamentary constituencies each Secondary Planning Area relates.

Answered by Stephen Morgan

Information on Secondary Planning Areas as of May 2023 is published at school level in the annual School Capacity statistics publication. This can be accessed here: https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/school-capacity. Secondary Planning Areas are groups of schools that can relate to more than one parliamentary constituency. Therefore, there is not a one-to-one list of parliamentary constituency to Secondary Planning Area.

School level capacity data can be combined with information from ‘Get Information About Schools’ (GIAS) to identify parliamentary constituency. This can be accessed here: https://get-information-schools.service.gov.uk/. GIAS currently reflects the changes made following the general election parliamentary constituency changes.
