Further Education: Boarding Schools

Asked by Andrew GeorgeLiberal DemocratDepartment for EducationTabled Answered 1 August 2024UIN 1635

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many students are required by geographic circumstances to board at night to receive post-16 education by local authority area.

Answered by Catherine McKinnell

Information on the reason pupils board overnight at school is not held centrally by the department.

Information on the number of pupils who board is published in the ‘Schools, pupils and their characteristics’ publication, which is available here: https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/school-pupils-and-their-characteristics.
