A report based on official data from the British education system has sparked a strong political and social debate in the United Kingdom after revealing profound demographic changes in schools in England. According to figures released by The Telegraph, there are 72 English schools where no white students are enrolled, while in another 454, this group represents only 2% of the student body or less.
The information comes from the school census conducted by the British Department of Education in 2025 and shows that white British students are no longer the majority in one in four schools in the country. The phenomenon is particularly concentrated in large cities and urban areas where immigration has increased significantly over the past few decades.
London stands out as the main example of this demographic transformation. In most districts of the British capital, white students are already a minority in public schools. In Newham, they represent about 5% of the students, and in Harrow around 7%. Even in Bromley, the district with the highest proportion of white British students in London, they barely exceed 50% of the total.
Other major urban centers such as Birmingham, Manchester, Leicester, and Bradford show similar trends. One of the most cited cases was Rockwood Academy in Birmingham, where none of its more than a thousand students were registered as white. At Loxford School in East London, only 12 out of nearly 2,800 students belong to that demographic category.
