Schools: Admissions
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many and what proportion of students (a) joined and (b) left each state school mid-year in each of the last three years.
Answered by Catherine McKinnell
The information requested is not readily available and could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.
Information on the number of pupils in England as at January is published annually in the ‘Schools, pupils and their characteristics’ accredited official statistics publication, which can be found here: https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/school-pupils-and-their-characteristics/2023-24.
These statistics do not include pupil movements within the school year.
