Number of Pupils	Number of Toilets
Every 15 pupils up to a total of 60	2
Every additional 30 pupils up to a total of 300	2

In mixed schools half the facilitiesmust be for boys (with not more than one third of their toilets being water closetsand the remainder, urinals).

The information requested isnot collected centrally.
