<p>There were 129 stated-funded primary schools with 801 or more pupils in England
in January 2018. The tables below provide this by region and local authority.</p><p>These
figures are derived from the data published at the annual ‘Schools, pupils and their
characteristics’ statistical release at the following link: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/schools-pupils-and-their-characteristics-january-2018"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/schools-pupils-and-their-characteristics-january-2018</a>.</p><p>Data
for each school is available in the underlying data, contained in the file named ‘Schools_Pupils_and_their_Characteristics
_2018_Schools_Pupils_UD’.</p><p>A large school does not mean larger class sizes. Despite
an increase of over half a million children attending state-funded primary schools
in England between 2010 and 2018, the average primary class size has remained stable.</p><p>
</p><p>This Government is undertaking the biggest expansion in school places in two
generations, and recent statistics show we are well on track to create one million
places nationwide in the decade to 2020, reversing a reduction of 100,000 school places
between 2004 and 2010.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Table 1 – State-funded primary schools
