The Department for Education’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, is in the technical notes in the scorecard.

The local authority scorecards include information on:

  • how many places have been delivered for the academic year 2021 to 2022
  • the quality of places delivered for the academic year 2021 to 2022
  • how many places are planned to be delivered for the academic year 2024 to 2025
  • the estimated number of additional places still needed to meet demand for the academic year 2024 to 2025
  • the forecasting accuracy of local authorities
  • how well parental preference is being met
  • the cost of providing places
