The 鈥榤ain text鈥� document includes information on:

The 鈥榤ain tables鈥� and first 鈥榤ethodology鈥� document relate to this publication.
We subsequently published the 鈥榦utcomes tables鈥�, showing figures that result from matching the children in need census to the national pupil database (NPD).
These tables show children in need by:
- prevalence of free school meals (FSM)
- special educational needs (SEN)
- attainment
- absence and exclusions
The 鈥榦utcomes methodology鈥� document explains the matching process and calculations we used in these tables.
