School attendance orders - electively home educated children.

The request was successful.

Dear Herefordshire Council,

This is an FOI request in respect of electively home educated children only.

Please state, for each of the past five years:

1. How many school attendance orders were applied for under Section 437 of the Education Act 1996 ?

2. For how many of these school attendance orders did the court direct that the order ‘shall cease to be in force’ under under Section 443(2) of the Education Act 1996 because the court found that that parent was ‘causing the child to receive suitable education otherwise than at school’ under Section 443(1) ?

3. For how many of these school attendance orders did the court find a person guilty of an offence under Section 443(1) of the Education Act 1996 because the court found that that parent was NOT ‘causing the child to receive suitable education otherwise than at school’ ?

Additionally, please state how many children are known to your authority as being electively currently home educated in your authority area.

Yours faithfully,

T.L.Jones
