I have dealt with your request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
This information from the spring 2021 school census will not be available
until after the publication of the [1]schools, pupils and their
characteristics statistical first release in June 2021. I have noted your
email address and will forward you the requested information immediately
following publication of the aforementioned statistical first release.
In the meantime, an Excel spreadsheet containing the information from the
autumn 2020 school census can be obtained from [2]MIS Supplier summary for
autumn 2020 and Spring 2021 - a Freedom of Information request to
Department for Education - WhatDoTheyKnow. It contains the local authority
number, local authority name, establishment (school) number, school name,
establishment type, establishment phase, software supplier code and the
number of pupils in each school. It is not possible to provide the
software supplier name as this is information is not held. However, the

majority of cases.
