I have dealt with your request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000
(“the Act”).

 

An Excel spreadsheet containing the requested information is enclosed. The
spreadsheet contains the local authority number, establishment number,
establishment name, establishment type, establishment phase, MIS supplier
software code and number of pupils for each school. It is not possible to
provide the software supplier name as this information is not collected.
However, the software supplier code we have included contains the software
supplier name in the majority of cases. 

 

I have provided data from the most recent complete census, which is the
summer school census 2017.
