Your request has been dealt with under the Environmental Information Regulations (EIR) 2004. Our response to your request is as follows: 1. Please provide the precise number and list of locations/names of primary and secondary schools in London where air pollution breaches legal limit, according to your most recent data (I believe the same metric has been used across the years, of annual mean limit of 40ug/m3 NO2, but please clarify). If you are able to provide more recent data without breaching the s12 time limit please do. If not, please provide underlying data from May 2018 (see below). Please provide as a spreadsheet with school name, pollution level, and any location information such as borough. This data is available on the London datastore. The most recent available data is from the London Atmospheric Emission Inventory (LAEI) 2016 and was published in April 2019. The data used for the 2018 report is LAEI 2013. Please find attached a list and a summary of all Educational Establishments in London and NO2 levels based on both the LAEI 2013 update and LAEI 2016. The list has been taken from the register of educational establishments in England and Wales, maintained by the Department for Education, and provides information on establishments providing compulsory, higher and further education. It was downloaded on 21/03/2019, just before the release of the LAEI 2016. The attached spreadsheet has recently been published as part of the LAEI 2016 stats on Datastore here.

BACKGROUND 1.1 In June 2017, Kingston Council’s then Growth Committee adopted a revised School Place Planning Strategy, following the adoption of a previous version in November 2012 which was revised in March 2013. 1.2 This report therefore: provides an update on the provision of new school places since the June 2017 Strategy, and; analyses demand for additional school places, particularly in the secondary phase and for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND); considers how that demand could be met; and gives options for securing local school provision, to ensure that children and young people can be educated within their home community, without being dependent on private car usage for home to school travel. 1.3 Assumptions regarding long-term demand are based upon the Greater London Authority’s and the Office of National Statistics’ pupil and general population projections respectively, but are naturally more speculative than those used to inform the short- to medium-term demand. 1.4 The Mayor’s ‘Intend to Publish’ new London Plan (December 2019)1 sets a target for an additional 9,640 net new homes, including 2,250 from small sites, to be provided in Kingston Borough over a 10 year period between 2019/2020 and 2028/2029, equating to 1,364 per year.
