Dear Jonathan,

We have gone back to the service area and asked for the data in academic
year format, they have provided the following:

Note: Number on roll is harder. This number fluctuates all year. We have
the numbers on the day of the PLASC but we do not have specific numbers as
to how many were EHE on 1st September each year for example… It would mean
needing to manually go through all the names on all the trackers from the
4 years we have and counting them all.

We hope this assists.

Kind Regards

Information Governance Officer
