Details

DfE’s guidance on delivering schools to support housing growth recommends using cost data in the latest scorecard to help establish developer contributions per school place.

The national average data in the scorecard has been adjusted for region and inflation. More information, including guidance on adjusting the national average further for inflation, can be found in the technical notes in the scorecard.

The local authority scorecards include information on:

  • how many places have been delivered for the academic year 2020 to 2021
  • quality of places delivered for the academic year 2020 to 2021
  • how many places are planned to be delivered for the academic year 2023 to 2024
  • estimated number of additional places still needed to meet demand for the academic year 2023 to 24
  • forecasting accuracy of local authorities
  • how well parental preference is met
  • cost of providing places
