Question to the Department for Education:
To ask Her Majesty's Government how many children in England were home educated in each of the years (1) 2013–14, (2) 2014–15, (3) 2015–16, and (4) 2016–17.
Data on the number of children educated at home are not collected centrally. Local authorities may collect such data, but as there is no obligation upon parents to register children as being educated at home, such data will not be complete.
