The information requested by constituency level is not readily available and could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.

The Department does publish the proportion of students who entered higher education by age 19 who were eligible for free school meals at age 15 in state-funded and special schools at a local authority level. This information is available here: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/widening-participation-in-higher-education-2018.
