Pupil referral units in Lincolnshire - Find a freedom of information request

1) The total capacity of Pupil Referral Units (PRU) in Lincolnshire at the date of the May 2023 census and the date of the January 2023 census.

2) For the same dates could you stipulate the total number of pupil enrolments in Pupil referral Units within your council including both a) single registered and b) dual registered pupils. This should give me two numbers for each date: first the capacity number (e.g. 100) and second the actual number of enrolments (e.g. 80).

3) Because of the nature of single and dual registered pupils, if possible could you include a third number for each date - the number of full-time equivalents on-roll. If your PRU does outreach into schools, could you also include this number and add it to the number of full-time equivalents enrolled with the PRU.

These are the latest figures, and no backdated figures are available.

3. All Sole and Dual-Main registered pupils of mandatory school age are entered as full-time, i.e. 1 FTE, and their attendance at other schools is instead managed using attendance codes. Therefore, a total FTE count is not relevant as it is the same as the 'On Roll' count for each school, even if the pupils attend other schools.
