Birth rate

[Natalie74]

Hi sorry this isn't linked to the 11+ hope that's ok? As well as looking for a senior school (hopefully grammar) place for my DS, I am also looking for a primary school for my DD. As my son is due to leave this year she won't be allocated a sibling place where she is currently and I think we live too far away .

Just wondered if anyone had a link to 'birth rates for the intake of children due to start primary school (reception) in Sept 2014.' She was born in 2009.

This article is about 2009 in particular.
It has links about the statistics for previous years too
The overall message: slight dip compared to 2008 but still much higher than 10 years previously

Oh thank you so much. I've been trying to look for some kind of graph for the Birmingham area. I just couldn't seem to find anything. Thank you for helping me. X

Try this for Birmingham specific figures.

Oh my gosh. You're a star! Thank you x

Anyone got numbers for Bucks and Berks for 2003-4 birthdates - split by boys and girls?

Can you post a link if you do? I have tried - and failed to find these!!

Thanks!

These will you give you totals birth each year by local authority (Table 7.1)
Birth statistics, England and Wales (Series FM1) - No. 33, 2004
Birth statistics, England and Wales (Series FM1) - No. 32, 2003

Many thanks!! Do you know where I could find the males/female split by county? I did flick through all the tables but couldn't see this. Thanks again

You could try this one (it's the Mid-2012-unformatted-syoa-data-file you want) which would give you the estimated number of people of each age and sex for each local authority area as at the middle of 2012 (which is probably closer to school years cohorts than the by year of birth data would be anyway). It will take a little effort to pull out Berkshire at it doesn't seem to be listed by county (Bucks is) but it would give you a fairly good idea of the age profile.

Fabulous - that did it! And gave some very encouraging results from my perspective! Thanks for your help Okanagan
