Written Answers
Children: Schools
Asked by: Lord Cruddas (Conservative - Life peer)
Wednesday 25th March 2026

Question to the Department for Education:

To ask His Majesty's Government how many children are not registered for school in the last year in which statistics are available for.

Answered by Baroness Smith of Malvern - Minister of State (Department for Work and Pensions)

Information is collected from local authorities in England on a termly basis on how many children they have recorded as being in elective home education (EHE) or who are children missing education (CME). On the census data for the 2025/26 autumn term, local authorities reported 126,000 children in EHE and 34,700 CME.

As there is currently no legal requirement for parents to inform local authorities that their children are not in school, this information is based only on those parents of which local authorities are aware.

As part of the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill, we are introducing a requirement for every local authority in England and Wales to hold compulsory Children Not in School registers.

Children: Registration
Asked by: Lord Cruddas (Conservative - Life peer)
Friday 27th March 2026

Question to the Department for Education:

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have, if any, to create a single national mandatory register of all children, including both those in, and not in, the school system.

Answered by Baroness Smith of Malvern - Minister of State (Department for Work and Pensions)

The government has no current plans to create a national register of all children.

Using data to improve school attendance is central to the government’s mission to break down barriers to opportunity. Thanks to our world-leading data collection, the department has access to near real-time attendance data for mainstream schools, including academies.

As part of the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill, the department is also introducing a requirement for every local authority in England and Wales to hold compulsory Children Not in School registers, and accompanying duties on parents to provide information for these registers. This will support local authorities to identify all children not in school in their areas.
