Question to the Department for Education:

To ask His Majesty's Government how many Ukrainian children are currently receiving an education in primary and secondary schools.

Information about the nationality or country of birth of children in schools in England is not collected by the department.

However, ad hoc surveys of admission officers were conducted in 2022 and are available here: https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/school-placements-for-children-from-outside-of-the-uk.

This shows that, between 1 September 2021 and 27 September 2022, when adjusted for non-response, there had been an estimated 22,100 applications for school places for children from Ukraine. 13,100 of these were for primary school places and 9,100 were for secondary school places.

Of these 22,100 applications, 20,500 offers had been made at that point in time. This figure is also adjusted for non-response. This represents 92% of applications. 12,300 of these were for primary school places and 8,100 were for secondary school places.
