This tool is for:
- schools and responsible bodies
- local authorities
- dioceses
- building professionals
It helps them to measure the number of pupil places available in a mainstream school. It can also help with education building projects.
The Department for Education (DfE) uses the assessment as the standard method to measure the number of pupil places available in any school.
DfE has also published:
- guidance on net capacity assessment
- information about the net capacity assessment programme and when school site visits will take place
The net capacity assessment tool is not accessible because it is a locked spreadsheet, to help prevent calculation errors. An unlocked and accessible version is available on request. Email DfE.NCAPROGRAMME@education.gov.uk to request this version.
