School Capacity and Surplus Places
Every year the Department for Education (DfE) asks local
authorities with responsibility for education to provide a variety
of data to enable Government to predict funding requirements in
future years. The Local Authority returns an annual report on
the capacity of maintained schools in Worcestershire and numbers of
surplus places in those schools. Schools with more than 25% surplus
and at least 30 spare places are identified and the Authority
has to report what measures are being taken to reduce the level in
each school named. The report also includes a forecast of future
numbers on roll to assist with predicting shortfalls in school
places.
Prior to 2010 the report was called the "Supply of School
Places" return. From 2010 it is known as the School Capacity
Survey.
