The figures update predictions made in January
England's primary school population is set to rise by 18% in the next eight years, experts are predicting.
And by 2015, numbers are expected to grow by 8%, according to statistics from the Department for Education.
Secondary school numbers have been falling and will continue to do so until 2015, when the surge in primary pupils will start to feed through.
The government has pledged to spend more than £4bn in the next four years on creating new school places.
