Hi Claire

  Yes, the data about pupils with Statements, School Action Plus and School Action all comes from your PLASC.  You (or someone else) needs to make sure that your school data is accurate before Thursday.

  Thank you everyone who replied to me..

It all hurts my brain. I nearly failed my sociology degree at LSE because of
the statistics module in 1974 and my ability to understand it all hasn't
improved.

Am I right in thinking that the data about SA and SAP all comes from PLASC?
how else would they know?
