Details

The scorecards provide a snapshot of school places from summer 2018. They show the progress towards ensuring there are sufficient good school places in each local authority area across England.

The scorecards show how many places have been delivered or are planned to be delivered, and provide information about the quality of the places delivered for the academic year 2017 to 2018. They also show forecasting accuracy of local authorities, how well parental preference is met and the cost of providing places in their area.

The scorecards include a comparison of average cost per place on school expansion and new school projects against the national average. The Department for Education is working with the Education Building Development Officers Group (EBDOG) to encourage greater collaboration between local authorities to drive down school delivery costs to improve efficiency and effectiveness. Efficiency Guidance and information on local authorities offering Peer Support are available on the EBDOG website.
