This list is effective from 18 December 2024.

The 2023 list, which was given effect by the 2023 order, remains the relevant list in force until 17 December 2024.

The list is helpful to local authorities and governing boards when proposing a school closure.

The Department for Education uses the Office for National Statistics 2011 rural-urban classification system for this dataset.
