<p>The closest matching available data on the attendance of vulnerable children in
educational establishments since 23 March was published on Tuesday 16 June at the
following link and covers data up to Thursday 11 June:<br> <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-attendance-in-education-and-early-years-settings"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-attendance-in-education-and-early-years-settings</a>.</p><p>The
data is collected from individual education establishments and the published figures
include estimates for non-response.</p><p>We do not currently hold attendance statistics
for the number of pupils who are classed as disadvantaged.</p><p>The attendance of
children with an education, health and care plan should be based on an individual
risk assessment, carried out and regularly reviewed to judge whether they are best
supported at school or at home at this time. Attendance may not be appropriate for
some children, including because of health considerations for them and their family.
