This is a freedom of information request relating to homeschooling. Please provide me with the total number of children in the authority area who are homeschooled and the number who have flexi-schooling arrangements. I would like this data for the past 5 school years (up to and including the 2021-22 academic year), separated by year. Please also differentiate between the numbers of primary and secondary school pupils. If reasons have been given to justify these arrangements, please also include these.
