​​Freedom of Information Act response – ref FOI-202408003143

Dear Cheryl Moy, 

Your request for information, reference number FOI-202408003143,  has now
been considered and the information requested is given below.

Request and Response

1.  How many home educated children does your LA currently have recorded?

725

2.  How many households do these children come from?

567

3.  In the last 12 months how many s437(1) formal notices to satisfy have
you served on parents regarding home educated children?

None in 2024

4.  How many School Attendance Orders (SAOs) (attendance order in
Scotland) have been served on children that were known to be home educated
until the SAO was served?

None in 2024

5.  What was the outcome of each SAO? (for example, prosecuted for
non-compliance (please explain the outcome from court), revoked (please
explain why the SAO was revoked).

Not applicable

6.  How many children do you have recorded as a Child Missing Education
(CME) that are not subject to S437(1) or SAO?

0

7.  In the last 12 months, what is the range of time period between a
parent requesting the LA provide a school place and the child starting at
the school? (for example a home educated child that wishes to go to
school, or a family has moved to the area and wants a school place).

The admissions team endeavour to respond to all applications for school
places within 10-15 school days with an offer of a school place. 

8. In the period of time, between the parental request and the initial
start date at school, has the LA put in place education for the child
under s19 Education Act?

Peterborough has an internal process for schools to place children on roll
within 10 school days from the offer being made (if this is an in-year
transfer request) as S19 of the Education Act comes into force for
children who have not been attending school i.e. due to health needs for
15 days then these children would not be offered education through s19.

9. If s19 is provided, how many hours education per week are put in place?

A minimum of 15 hours, but we aim to give 25 hours if applicable for the
child. We consider each case individually.
