Due to the small numbers involved, it is not possible to provide a breakdown by school, as any further breakdown may result in the identification of individuals. As such the information is exempt under Article 25 (Personal Information) of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 (the FOI Law).

C

Attendance improved for 33 pupils following panel.

D

Due to the small number of pupils being referred to the Parish Hall, Article 25 of the FOI Law has been applied to this part of the request.
