> Is ten classrooms per school a reasonable average?
That sounds low: a secondary school with no sixth-form will have students in 5 different year groups, and will typically have more than two classes per year group.

That's 335,032 classes, and thus at least 335k classrooms (add extra ones for specialist classrooms)
However that number includes private schools. Remove those and you're looking at 8.3 million, with a larger class size, so potentially just 277k classes assuming 30 people per room (plus specialist classrooms like IT, Art, D+T, PE, etc)

Headcount 8,911,853 Number of schools 24,413 Average class size 26.6
So 335000 classes
that's just England, which is 83% of uk, so 402000 classes total
