Free schools by constituency

Use the map below to explore the number of free schools in each marginal constituency

The first free schools opened in 2011 and there are now more than 400. David Cameron announced the latest 49 in March 2015, and this is the last batch approved before the general election.

The interactive graphic below shows 97 free schools across 68 marginal constituencies. It shows only those free schools that are already open, or those approved to open this year, that we were able to find, with an identified site.

Other free schools, not included in the graphic, are due to open later than 2015 or may not have finalised their location.
