One in Four English Schools Now Have a Minority of White British Children: Report

The Telegraph reports that 72 schools in England have no white British students.

Government records cited by The Telegraph indicate that white British children now constitute a minority in a quarter of English schools.

The report, released on Saturday, analyzed school census data from over 21,500 educational institutions nationwide, collected in early 2025.

The data reveals that 72 schools in England have no white children, and in 454 schools, they represent less than 2% of the student body.

The Telegraph highlights that Rockwood Academy in Birmingham reported zero “white British” students out of 1,084 in the census. Loxford School in Redbridge, London, had only 12 white British students out of 2,779.

The paper notes that this “demographic shift” is most apparent in cities like London, Birmingham, Manchester, Bradford, and Leicester.

In London, white British children are a minority in schools across all 32 boroughs, except for Bromley, where they comprise 50.3% of the student population. Newham and Harrow have only 5% and 7% white children, respectively, according to the report.

“The school census data demonstrates that the white British share of the young population is in decline in many areas,” The Telegraph stated.

Last week, a report predicted that white British individuals will become a minority in the UK population by the early 2060s.

The paper, based on an analysis of migration, birth, and death rates, projects that their share will decrease from the current 73% to approximately 33.7% by the end of the century.

Professor Matt Goodwin of Buckingham University, the study’s author, suggests that these projections raise “profound questions about the capacity of the UK state to both absorb and manage this scale of demographic change.”

Goodwin emphasized that these findings are likely to provoke “a considerable degree of anxiety, concern and political opposition” among many voters, which “need to be… addressed if the UK is to avoid considerable political turbulence and polarization in the years and decades ahead.”
