<p>Data on the pupils enrolled at all maintained schools, academies (including free
schools, studio schools and university technical colleges) and non‑maintained special
schools, is collected via the school census. Data is collected for all schools regardless
of growth in pupil numbers or date of opening of the school. The school census captures
a wide range of information including pupil headcount, special educational needs,
eligibility for free school meals, first language and ethnicity (though not pupil
nationality).</p><p>Data for individual schools is included within the underlying
data of the series listed below: ‘Schools, pupils and their characteristics’[1] and
‘Special educational needs in England’.[2]</p><p>[1] <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/statistics-school-and-pupil-numbers"
