<p>The Department collects information from local authorities on the number of school
places in state-funded primary and secondary schools as part of the annual School
Capacity Collection.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Data for 2010 can be found at:</p><p>

</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>In 2005 this information was collected as part of the Surplus
Places Survey, and data is available at:</p><p> </p><p><a href="http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20110316231736/http:/www.teachernet.gov.uk/docbank/index.cfm?id=9695"

</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>A comparison of the
position in 2005 and 2010, showing the net change in capacity in Bradford local authority,
is given in the table below. Positive figures indicate an overall increase in places;
negative figures indicate an overall decrease in places. A decrease in places can
be the consequence of actions to address over-supply, remove unsuitable place provision,
or if restructuring the school system. Bradford, like many LAs, reduced the number
of available school places during the previous decade when the primary population
was falling by removing surplus places, with the objective of improving efficiency.</p><p>
