In order to inform my Department’s National Inventory of School Capacity, as part of the annual Schools Data Collection, schools have been asked to report the total number of classrooms within their existing accommodation. These rooms may include general classrooms for mainstream education, classrooms being utilised to provide for pupils with special education needs, classrooms currently being utilised for other purposes, and classrooms which are currently vacant.
Each individual school is responsible for providing the correct and relevant information as part of the Schools Data Collection.
94% of primary schools and 99% of post primary schools completed their Schools Data Collection return for 2021/22. Based on the information provided by these schools, the tables below set out the numbers of schools (of those which made returns) within certain bands of indicated classrooms.
