Elective Home Education data

Jonathan Fagg made this Freedom of Information request to Gwynedd Council as part of a batch sent to 171 authorities This request has been closed to new correspondence. Contact us if you think it should be reopened.

The request was partially successful.

Dear Gwynedd Council,

As a freedom of information request, please provide the following data on Elective Home Education (EHE):

1) The number of school pupils who were newly registered as EHE each academic year for:
-2018-19
-2019-20
-2020-21
-2021-22
-2022-23
-2023-24

2) If time allows, please could you also provide the total number of school pupils who were registered for EHE in each of the same academic years (this time the total number rather than just those newly registered).

3) Additionally, if time allows, please could you provide the number of pupils who have moved from elective home education back into school in the same academic years?

Please could you respond to these questions using this form: https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponseP... - this would make collecting data much easier as we are asking all local authorities for information.

Yours faithfully,

Jonathan Fagg

Dear Rhyddid Gwybodaeth,
Many thanks for this information.
Please could I double check the figures - as it looks like in 2021-2022 there were 111 newly registered EHE pupils, but 105 EHE pupils in total (including any prior to that academic year)?

Good afternoon,

For question one we were able to count the number of newly registered during the whole academic year. For question 2 then consideration has to be given for those who return to school during the academic year and also the date of collection of the total number given. 105 was the total number of active EHE students as of 18 January of that academic year.

Kind regards
