Regarding the funding provided for children attending unaccredited online schools. For the purposes of this request, "unaccredited online schools" refers to online education providers that have not been accredited under The Department for Education's Online Education Accreditation Scheme.
Specifically, I would like to request the following data:
1. The total number of children who have been provided funding to attend unaccredited online schools over the past five years (broken down by year, if possible).
2. The total amount of funding allocated for attendance at unaccredited online schools over the past five years (also broken down by year, if available).
