Thanks for this Katie. But I'm suprised you used school year groups to classify Home Ed kids! Why not just age? I'm looking at the graphs and have no idea how old those kids are and where mine fit in LoL.
Largely because it's the easiest way to compare to other data sets, like all pupils and the DfE numbers. I think I did include dates of birth on the actual survey because similarly, before we hit exam ages I had no immediate idea and had to work it out any time it came up!
