The company, which yesterday went into liquidation, was responsible for facilities management including the delivery of school meals and cleaning to 875 schools, and the design and build of new schools and classrooms.
Its catering service delivered more than 32,000 school meals every day within the primary and secondary sectors in areas including Oxfordshire, Barnsley and Nottinghamshire.
However, the Department for Education said Carillion had contracts that cover fewer than 250 schools in England.
On its website, Carillion says it has designed and built 150 schools, provides cleaning services in 245 schools and mechanical and electrical and fabric maintenance services in 683 schools.
The construction company previously sponsored an academy trust. The Discovery Academy in Greater Manchester, which was sponsored and managed by Carillion, broke away from the firm at the beginning of the month, according to reports.
