Notes

The average number of pupils in a primary class, infant and key stage 2 classes together: the pupils over the classes, as the DfE's data set gives it.
Classes taught by one teacher in state-funded primary and secondary schools in January each year, from the school census, in the constituency each school is in, as the DfE's data set places it. A secondary class is the one being taught at a single time on census day.
Pupils in schools the DfE places in no constituency count in England's figures only.
