Footnotes
- Local authority response rates to the data collection vary by census date. To account for non-response, where required national and regional figures have been uprated based on local authority pupil populations.
- In autumn 2024/25 Warwickshire's record of reasons for EHE included all reasons provided, as such the count of reasons is greater than the number of EHE children on census date.
- A figure that rounds to 0, but is not 0 is denoted by 'low' - for rate of EHE this is a figure less than 0.5%.
