Only 1.5 percent of state school places cannot be fully worked in some areas, which means that few options for students from private schools have to relocate because of Labor VAT.
New statistics for 2023-24, the newest available, show that many local authorities had less than 5 percent of the reserve places at their schools.
If the situation is comparable this year, this would mean that parents who are priced from private schools cannot get a lot of choice.
Usually schools with extra places are usually less popular and not so high -performance, and they are not necessarily near the houses of families.
The data, published by the Department for Education (DFE), shows that a number of councils had a low reserve capacity at both primary and secondary level.
At the primary level, Coventry had only 1.5 percent of the places free, while Wolverhampton had 3.1 percent, Bolton had 3.3 percent and Leicester had 4.8 percent.
At the secondary level, Rutland had 3.5 percent free, while Kirkleen and Sutton both had 4.1 percent and Harrow had 4.3 percent.
The figures were for the entire annual groups, so even if there were places available at a school, they may not be available for a specific age.

However, the figures for non -filled places can be different this year, because places fluctuate and guess extra financing annually to create new places if necessary.
Labor put VAT on private school costs from January, with educational secretary Bridget Phillipson who promises that the money raised will pay for 6,500 new teachers in the state school.
Some parents who use private schools say that higher costs are priceless for them because of VAT.
Estimations about how many students will be pushed into the state sector through the policy of Labor are varied.
One of the more conservative predictions came from the Institute for Fiscal Studies, which said it could be up to 40,000 – or seven percent of private school population.
Calls are under a legal obligation to offer every child a place that one needs, but that they do not have to give parents their first choice school.
It means that if parents cannot find a place near their house, they might have to drive their children to schools.
The new data also showed that nationally 24 percent of secondary schools worked on or above capacity in 2023/24 – an increase of 15 percent in 2015/16 and the highest share since 2009/10.

This reflects a baby boom after 2010, with that population that is now going to Secondaries.
In addition, schools with special educational needs and disabilities (shipping) seem to have been registered too much.
The data showed that 8,000 more secondary school products at special schools were on roles than there was official capacity for it.
It revealed that although there were only 92,000 places, there were 100,000 students.
However, Labor announced yesterday that 10,000 new school places will be created to meet the growing need.
The Ministry of Education has been contacted for comment.
