Last week's FOI
www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/correspondence_related_to_flexis#outgoing-268697
Basically DfE is saying it didn't consult because it didn't have to, and that having time off for home education is at head's discretion but the register must be marked absent because parent is responsible when child is at home, not school. Or at least, I think that's what it's saying.
I've updated my web page accordingly.
