Footnotes
- Local authorities have a duty under section 436A of the Education Act 1996 to make arrangements to establish the identities of children in their area who are not registered pupils at a school and are not receiving suitable education otherwise. Discussions with local authorities suggest that the data is an accurate reflection of the number children they have identified but there is some variation in practice, including around when a child should be recorded as CME. This means that whilst the data is an accurate reflection of the number of CME on record within local authorities, it may not represent a consistently defined estimate of all CME across the country.
- Data was received from 91% of local authorities in the Autumn term, 93% in the Spring term and 96% in the Summer term. To account for non-response, national and regional figures have been uprated based on local authority pupil populations.
