These data show the percentage of pupils at state funded schools who live more than 2 miles from school (for those aged under 8) or 3 miles from school (for those aged over 8), 2018. Warning: These data are taken from analysis used to create the GLA London Schools Atlas which is based on data from the DfE National Pupil Database. These rates are taken from the variable 'SC_Pupil.DistCurrSch - Distance in miles from pupil postcode to current school'. This is not exactly the same as the nearest walking distance used for eligibility for local authority funding for free travel to school.

This Intelligence Unit update (Update 04-2013) uses Department for Education (DfE) data sources to examine the following:

1. Cross border mobility of primary school age children by residence;
2. Cross border mobility of primary school age children by school location;
3. Comparison of DfE estimates with ONS 2011 Census-based data; and
4. Estimates of the number of pupils per borough attending independent school.

Update 04-2013 and the supporting data are both downloadable (updated 26th February 2013).

The data is also available as an interactive visualisation.

The equivalent report for secondary school age children was published in November 2012 as Update 25-2012. Both the report and the accompanying data can be downloaded from the Datastore.

Local Authorities are required under section 52 of the Schools Standards and Framework Act 1998 to prepare and submit an education outturn statement (containing details of the actual expenditure and funding of schools and LAs during the financial year) at the end of each financial year. From the education outturn statement, statistics showing the total revenue balance for each school can be derived and these statistics form the basis of this publication.

A schools total revenue income for the year includes all revenue funding available to the year as well as any additional income generated by the school. This does not include any revenue balances carried forward from previous years.

Please note that although figures are shown here for committed and uncommitted balances there is considerable variation in how these are defined at local level meaning that at national level this comparison is not consistent or meaningful. Great caution should therefore be used in interpreting these figures.

The tables form part of annual series of school balances statistics which have been published on the Department's Every Child Matters website.
