The information is available on Get Information about Schools and shows these schools had over 1,500 pupils.

Overall pupil numbers at these schools combined were only at 51% of the combined capacity of these schools in January 2024 - before details of tax changes were announced. Low pupil numbers relative to capacity can be a risk factor associated with subsequent closure.
