Regarding the definition of ‘built’, we have defined a ‘built’ school as one which has no predecessor, as recorded in the ‘Get Information About Schools’ links data, but which includes those that have resulted from local re-organisation of school provision.
The table also reflects schools that have subsequently closed.
For ‘type of establishment’, we have included all academies and maintained schools, including special schools, pupil referral units, alternative provision and 16 to 19 provision.
