  Dear janebrain, Here is the best data I could find, gathered from official statistics. Some important remarks: - The data for England includes both Maintained (state) and Independent (private) schools - In Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, the Independent Schools are counted separately, but the statistics make no distinctions between primary and secondary Independent Schools I hope this data will be useful for you!
