Data from the 2008 Annual School Census shows for the first time the distribution of different languages spoken in London. 2008 represents the first year in which this data was available for all state schools.

The publication of this data follows research by Institute for Education, Centre for Analysis of Social Exclusion and the London Borough of Newham. A brief report on the research is retained on UCL’s website.
