Usage of new attendance codes
New statutory guidance for managing attendance, including changes to absence codes used in school registers, was introduced at the start of the year. We have an early look at what the data looks like for the new codes.
The rise and rise of Education, Health and Care Plans
The rate at which pupils are obtaining EHC plans has been growing at a faster rate in recent years, particularly among older (secondary-age) pupils
How many pupils are educated off-site? An update
We estimate that an average of 21,000 pupils of compulsory school age are educated off-site each day
Post-16 pathways to employment for lower attaining pupils: are they working?
A report tracking the post-16 pathways taken by pupils who did not achieve grade 4/C in GCSE English and maths into the labour market.
How many pupils are at risk of falling below the proposed new thresholds for attendance?
Disadvantaged pupils and those with SEN, particularly secondary-age pupils, are at greater risk of falling below the proposed threshold
The special educational needs of pupils with repeat suspensions
We examine the chronologies of suspensions and SEN identification for pupils who experienced repeat suspensions in the 2021/22 academic year
Do EHC Plans prevent exclusions?
Summer born pupils are more likely to have EHC plans than Autumn born pupils. We look at whether this fact could be used to explore the relationship between EHC plans and exclusions.
Risk factors of permanent exclusion
We revisit the Timpson Review to examine the risk factors of permanent exclusions in the 2020/21 academic year

Ahead of publication of exclusions data for 2021/22, we examine some lesser known features of the relationship between SEN and permanent exclusion
