Lambeth, Southwark and Westminster have seen the biggest drops from 2018/19 to 2023/24.

Lambeth has seen a reduction of 2,563 and Westminster a fall of 2,231 over the same time period.

Lambeth is planning on closing two schools and amalgamating four others.

Research from the Education Policy Institute suggests that, at a council level, Lambeth in London will see the biggest drop in primary school pupils by 2028, followed by the Isle of Wight and then Brighton and Hove.
