<p>Local authorities are responsible for ensuring there are sufficient places available
within an area. We have allocated over £5 billion of funding to local authorities
in this parliament, leading to the creation of 260,000 new school places by May 2013,
with many more in the pipeline. <br><br>We do not hold a central record of all new
schools built by local authorities to provide these places since 2010. <br><br></p><p>We
do, however, hold information on the number of new schools funded through the government's
Free School programme, University Technical Colleges and Studio Schools and through
other centrally managed programmes:<br><br></p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Year</p></td><td><p>Primary</p></td><td><p>Secondary</p></td><td><p>All
through</p></td><td><p>Special Educational Needs/ Alternative Provision</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2010-11</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>4</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2011-12</p></td><td><p>17</p></td><td><p>10</p></td><td><p>2</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012-13</p></td><td><p>19</p></td><td><p>40</p></td><td><p>7</p></td><td><p>7</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013-14</p></td><td><p>35</p></td><td><p>58</p></td><td><p>9</p></td><td><p>19</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>
</p><p>In addition to the expenditure on new schools, we continue to invest in our
existing school estate to renew buildings in poor condition.</p>
