The Isles of Scilly was the only local authority with fewer than 10 pupils at the end of key stage 4[1] entering GCSE music in its state funded schools in 2017/18, with 2 pupils (of a cohort of 124 pupils). Note that this represents just one school.<\/p>
<\/p>
Pupils are required to study music through key stage 1-3. The department's published information at key stage 4 is based on exam entries by pupils, rather than number of pupils studying a subject.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
[1] Pupils are identified as being at the end of key stage 4 if they were on roll at the school and in year 11 at the time of the January school census for that year. Age is calculated as at 31 August for that year, and the majority of pupils at the end of key stage 4 were age 15 at the start of the academic year. Some pupils may complete this key stage in an earlier or later year group.<\/p>"}

The department is clear that off-rolling is unacceptable, and whilst the department believes this practice is relatively rare, the government is committed to continue working with Ofsted to define and tackle the practice of off-rolling.<\/p>
<\/p>
Pupils leave school rolls for many reasons including: permanent exclusion, moving to another school, or changes of circumstances (such as when a pupil moves to a new area). All schools must notify the local authority when a pupil\u2019s name is to be deleted from the admission register. There is no legal definition of \u2018off-rolling\u2019. However, the law is clear that a pupil\u2019s name can only be deleted from the admission register on the grounds prescribed in regulation 8 of the Education (Pupil Registration) (England) Regulations 2006, as amended.<\/p>
<\/p>
Following media coverage of off-rolling in 2017, the department wrote to all secondary schools, reminding them of the rules surrounding exclusion.<\/p>
<\/p>
Ofsted already considers records of children taken off roll and has also recently consulted on proposals that will see a strengthened focus on this issue. It has proposed that where inspectors find off-rolling, this will always be addressed in the inspection report, and where appropriate will lead to a school\u2019s leadership being judged inadequate. Ofsted will publish the outcome of its consultation soon.<\/p>
<\/p>
In March 2018, the government launched an externally-led review of exclusions practice, led by Edward Timpson CBE. The review explored how head teachers use exclusion, and why pupils with particular characteristics are more likely to be excluded from school. It has also considered the differences in exclusion rates across primary and secondary schools in England.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Timpson review and the government\u2019s response were published on 7 May. The review makes 30 recommendations and highlights variation in exclusions practice across different schools, local authorities and certain groups of children. The government agrees with all 30 recommendation in principle, and the department has committed to working with education leaders over the summer to design a consultation on making schools accountable for the outcomes for permanently excluded children, to be launched in the autumn. Among other things, the department will seek views on how to mitigate the potential unintended consequences Edward Timpson has identified in his review, including how to tackle the practice of off-rolling.<\/p>"}
