Footnotes
- Local authority response rates to the data collection vary by census date. To account for non-response, national and regional figures have been uprated based on local authority pupil populations.
- Rates of EHE are calculated based on ONS mid-year population estimates (opens in a new tab) for children aged 5 to 16 years. The rates for 2023/24 are based on 2022 population estimates.
