These numbers are much smaller

Summing up
Based on our analysis of school attendance registers for the Autumn term, we think that there were something like 39,000 to 43,000 pupils who had a part-time timetable.
These figures cover (almost) the whole of china rcs data the term rather than being a snapshot of the number on a part-time timetable on any given day.
We split the pupils on part-time timetables into two groups depending on how their absences from school are recorded. We estimate there were between 29,000 and 32,000 pupils whose absences are coded as C2. This is the code the official guidance suggests is used where the part-time timetable is intended to be a short-term measure to meet a pupil’s needs.
12,000 to 14,000 pupils had what we call a C pattern, that is to say their absences were recorded using code C. Some of these will have flexi-school arrangements in which they remain in full-time education but only attend school part-time.
Than we might have expected. A recent Schools Week article reports that a flexi-schooling group on Facebook has 25,000 members although this does not necessarily mean that all the members have (or look after) children who have flexi-school arrangements.
