<p>No places originally allocated to lead schools for School Direct have been offered
to higher education providers. Earlier this year, we made a number of places available
for those schools that have proven popular with applicants and recruited well. We
extended this offer to higher education providers in June.</p><p> </p><p>Since they
were initially agreed, we have agreed increases to higher education institution (HEI)
allocations for a number of reasons. For example, we allocated more places in physics
and mathematics throughout the year and we also allowed transfers between particular
subjects. The additional places allocated as a result of our offer in June are just
part of changes agreed to HEI allocations. We will publish data showing allocations
by university and subject in the autumn.</p><p> </p>
