Projected Demand for School Places

The pan-London demand for school places project is an attempt to provide a consistent view of the demand for school places across London. The project was commissioned following an identifed need for a strategic overview of future demand for places in London. The figures in this model in no way replace or supersede those provided by individual boroughs to the DfE. These results should not be compared to local authority roll projections. The 2018 demand projections were published in March 2018 and incoporate 2016-based GLA population projections and data from the DfE's National Pupil Database (January 2017). These projections update the earlier 2015 pan-London demand projections.
