This publication provides information on the number of children who were electively home educated (EHE) in England at a point in time on census day in autumn 2024, and the number of children who were EHE at any point during the 2023 to 2024 academic year.
EHE is a term used to describe a choice by parents to provide education for their children at home instead of sending them to school full-time.
