Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether he intends to update the dataset entitled Attendance in education and early years settings during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic (a) before 1 April 2022 and (b) on or after 1 April 2022.

The intention is to continue to publish data whilst collection of attendance data continues via the education settings status form. We have committed to reviewing the education settings status form data collection at Easter. This data collection is used to update the 'Attendance in education and early years settings during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic' official statistics publication, found here: https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/attendance-in-education-and-early-years-settings-during-the-coronavirus-covid-19-outbreak.

Upcoming releases of this data will be announced on a publication-by-publication basis. The next publication of this data set is due on 8 March 2022. Further dates will be announced in due course at: https://www.gov.uk/search/research-and-statistics.
