Number of secondary school places

The net capacity is the number of children that a school can reasonably be expected to accommodate.

The figures are worked out using the DfE 'net capacity assessment method'. This takes into account the floor space of the teaching areas and how they're used. For example:

• general teaching area
• practical teaching area
• labs

The area details are then used to work out a figure for the school’s capacity for pupils.
