Will the Cabinet Secretary confirm how many pupils were enrolled in pupil referral units since 2014, broken down by year and local authority area?
This information is in the two tables below and is taken from the annual Education Other than at School (EOTAS) census. Pupils who are enrolled at a PRU in more than one local authority will be counted more than once.
Due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the EOTAS collection for 2019/20 was not completed. Only 14 local authorities were able to submit data. The local authorities that were not able to provide data in 2019/20 are marked with a “..”.
The data in the tables below is published annually from 2015/16 onwards at the link below.
