1. Please provide the latest available school forecasts for this education authority, showing the number of pupils in each year group at each school (or for their respective school planning areas if individual school forecasts are not available), these are likely to be the forecasts which were prepared by this education authority in the summer of 2021.

3. Please provide school places allocation data for 2020 and 2021 showing (a) how many places were allocated each year at each school to out of catchment/out of area children (detailing from which other schools’ catchment areas) and (b) how many places were allocated each year at each school to children living outside this education authority's area (indicating which area outside of this education authority's area they were living in when applying for a place).
The attached spreadsheet outlines the information requested. Please note that our system is a live database and so this information is based on those children allocated to the schools as of Friday 22nd October 2021 and not on offer day for each year group.
