FOI Request - Elective Home Education

Request 101003100489

We are keen to understand the trends in elective home education. In particular we are aware there is a growing trend towards homeschooling.  

We would like to ascertain how many children are currently in home education in your Council authority and compare it to data we hold from 2013 and 2018.

We would like to request the following data;
1.     Number of primary age children currently in elective home education    
2.     Number of secondary age children currently in elective home education  

We believe you are likely to hold this information split by primary and secondary ages. However, if this is not available then we would like the following instead;  
3.     Total number of children currently in elective home education
