School Capacity Reports for Schools, Trusts and Local Authorities

School Capacity Reports for Schools, Trusts and Local Authorities

Managing school capacity and planning for future growth can be a complex challenge for schools, multi-academy trusts, single-academy trusts, and local authorities. Our expertise in school capacity planning delivers detailed, independent reports that offer clear insights into your pupil capacity needs, ensuring your facilities align with essential regulations like Building Bulletin 103 (BB103).

Precise School Capacity Data and Space Utilisation Analysis

Using precise school capacity data, we assess how well your current spaces support your student population, helping you determine whether expansion is necessary or if resources can be optimised. We also provide net capacity calculations to clearly understand how many pupils your facilities can accommodate. Our services include creating detailed floor plans that help you visualise your available space and ensure it’s used effectively. By referencing every area, we provide comprehensive data on dimensions and space usage, assisting in immediate and long-term planning management. Additionally, our condition survey service consolidates building and asset data into a single, comprehensive report, enabling smarter decision-making when it comes to maintenance, repairs, or potential expansions.

Introducing Our Fully Integrated Dashboard

With this powerful tool, you can quickly assess whether you have underutilised spaces based on your existing Published Admission Number (PAN) and forecast future expansions or potential declines in student rolls. The dashboard also enables you to evaluate area utilisation against the minimum requirements set by BB103 categories, empowering you to make informed decisions about your school’s facilities.
