Additional Information
As of 31.3.23, there were 4 children on roll who are less than a year old so I cannot comment on their schooling. There is a UASC who has been missing since arriving in care (11/03/2022) and another 8 who are NEET, in work or training. I have included preschool children in education and post 16 young people at college within the ‘mainstream’ calculation.
There are 8 children accessing Alternative Provision who are also on a mainstream school roll.
You will notice that all categories do not add up to 137 as there are young people on our roll who are NEET, and new arrivals int cate without a school place.
