Footnotes

  1. "Other" includes Chinese children.
  2. Unclassified - child's ethnicity was refused or not obtained. These are included in the 'Total' numbers.
  3. 2021 is the first year of data covering COVID-19, collected during January's national lockdown. A higher proportion of children recorded as registered to receive early education entitlements will have been temporarily absent during census week itself than previous years.
