Additionally, in part 8 of your request you refer to student enrolment in

request we sought clarification on via email on 24 January. We have
therefore interpreted the timeframe for each part of the request to be
2023 and 2024. We have also interpreted “local regular school” to mean
that you want to know what type of school a student was enrolled in prior
to enrolling at one of the three Residential Specialist schools listed
above e.g. state school, day specialist school, home schooled etc.
