This includes compulsory school aged children not registered at school or otherwise receiving suitable education.

In autumn 2023/24, there were an estimated 33,000 children missing education, which includes adjustments made for non-response and is based on a figure of 30,400 reported by 94% of local authorities.<\/p><p>The Children\u2019s Wellbeing Bill will legislate for local authority registers of children not in school. This will include a duty on parents to provide the necessary information for these registers if their child is eligible, which would improve the accuracy of data and ensure that fewer children slip under the radar when they are not in school.<\/p><p>Pupil absence is collected in the school census.

In autumn 2023/24, 19.4% of pupil enrolments were persistently absent (1.4 million pupil enrolments) and 2.0% of pupil enrolments were severely absent (142,000 pupil enrolments).<\/p><p> <\/p><p>It should be noted that \u2018regular attendance\u2019 is defined as having no absence, apart from absence due to attendance at a dual-registration or approved educational activity.
