The department publishes annual school level figures on the number of pupils attending schools in England. The most recent figures, based on the January 2021 school census, can be found here: https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/school-pupils-and-their-characteristics.

Figures for individual schools can be found in the school level underlying data file, which is called ‘School level underlying data 2020/21 (csv, 21 Mb)’, and is listed under the dropdown headings ‘Explore data and files’ and then ‘List of other files’.

Phase of school is in column N, you can select state-funded primary schools. Local authority is in column H and parliamentary constituency in X. The size band of the school is given in column AD in units of 100. The exact pupil headcount is given in column HL.
