The ever-growing uk classroom

As the population of the UK continues to grow at an incredible rate, the demand for school places will also increase. The Department for Education anticipates that the number of students attending secondary schools will increase by 20% by 2024 – putting a great strain on existing schools and creating a demand for new learning environments.

To demonstrate exactly the effects of population growth on our UK schools, we have produced an infographic to explore how many school places will be needed both now and in the future.
