Mark Pawsey – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Education

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Mark Pawsey on 2016-07-12.

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many children in each local authority area (a) are being home-schooled and (b) were being home-schooled in each of the last five years for which data is available.

This data is not collected centrally. Although some local authorities operate voluntary registration schemes, there is no legal obligation for the registration of home educated children.
