The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many state secondary school places are available within Hertsmere constituency.

Answered by Georgia Gould

School level data on state-funded schools with capacity in any of the year groups from reception to year 11 is published in the annual publication available at: https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/school-capacity/2024-25. This publication contains the latest available data for school capacity and sixth form places, as from 1 May 2025.

The statutory duty to provide sufficient school places sits with local authorities.
