Dear Ms Berlow

Re: Freedom of Information

Thank you for your request for the following information:

How many children are currently registered as being Electively Home Educated in your LA? This mean children who are deregistered with the intent of being home educated or those who have never been registered at a school.

The information below has been supplied in response to your request for the

above mentioned information. We hope the information supplied satisfies your original request.

Eighty six children are currently registered as being home educated in Thurrock.

If you are unhappy with the Council's response you can make a complaint via the

Council's complaints procedures and this will be looked into. If you are not happy with

this decision you may then appeal to the Information Commissioner.

Information supplied in response to your request is the copyright of Thurrock Council.

The information has been supplied for your personal use. Except for permitted acts

under the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988, the information supplied may not

be copied, distributed, published, or exploited for commercial purposes or financial gain

without the explicit written consent of Thurrock Council.

Yours faithfully

Linda Clampett
