Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what estimate she has made of average class size in schools in (a) England, (b) London and (c) Lewisham Deptford constituency in each year since 2010.

Average class size figures for state funded schools in England 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 national tables document for each year, tables 6a and 6b respectively.

A summary at local authority and regional level is only available for Key Stages 1 and 2 and is in the local authority and regional tables document for each year, table 11.

Data is not summarised by parliamentary constituency, but data for each school providing average class sizes for Key Stages 1 and 2, where appropriate, and overall is available via opening the underlying tables document for each year then the file ‘…Schools_Classes_UD’. The figures can be filtered by parliamentary constituency, school phase and local authority.
