  Notes:

  Most consistent, reliable data only available from 1987.

  31 March 1990—abolition of ILEA creating 13 London Boroughs.

  1 April 1996-31 March 1999 Local Government Reorganisation.

  1998 School Standards and Framework Act created the categories of school we have today.

  1 September 1999—deadline for formerly grant-maintained schools to move into one of those categories (most chose foundation, some chose voluntary aided); special agreement schools became voluntary aided.
