Details

This is the latest list of local authority-maintained primary schools in England that the Secretary of State has designated as rural under the Designation of Rural Primary Schools (England) Order 2019.

The list reflects schools in England on and from 13 December 2019.

Local authorities or governing bodies proposing to close a school should use this list to confirm whether or not it is rural.

The Department for Education (DfE) uses the Office for National Statisticsā€™ rural and urban area classification to identify rural schools as being located in:

  • towns and fringe areas
  • villages or hamlets
  • isolated dwellings

The Designation of Rural Primary Schools (England) Order 2019 will come into force on 27 December 2019.
