Answer: 1695 (Aged 0-25)
- Of this number, how many are pupils eligible for Service Pupil Premium and/or from Armed Forces families?
Answer: We only have data to indicate where a school has recorded that the child is eligible for Service Pupil Premium. We do not record on other systems if a child or young person is from an armed forces family. Statutory school age (5-16) service children are identified as part of the termly school census. There are a number of children that may have a EHCP but who are outside the scope of the school census. This includes, pupils not on roll at a maintained school in England (e.g. they attend a school in Wales) Pupils above and below statutory school age (0-4 and 16+)
As at 4 Nov 2024, 40 children with a current EHCP were identified as Service Children in the most current school census (Summer 2024).
