Introduction 2018 marks an important milestone for the Catholic schools’ census as it is the fifth year in a row that we have seen a return rate of 100%. This means for the first time we able to look at five-year data trends with completely accuracy. Collecting and collating this data from every single Catholic school in the country, including independent schools, is no mean feat, and thanks must go to all schools as well as to all those involved in bringing this mammoth piece of work together. Specifically, the CES would like to thank Robert Rushworth, Anthony Carroll, Cristina MacGillivray and Rebekah Hayward for the production of this document. The CES annual census is the most accurate depiction of the country’s longest established, and currently, second largest provider of schools. Moreover, the ability to demonstrate such accurate information has proved to be invaluable when promoting Catholic schools to Government departments, parliamentarians and the media. The data from the census has proven essential when highlighting the ethnic and religious diversity in Catholic schools, proving that Catholic schools are popular with parents of all faiths and none. The Catholic educational sector is one of the greatest contributions the Church has provided to our country and is one we have been giving since the 6th Century. As a community, we should continue to be very proud of this. Chairman The Most Reverend Malcolm McMahon OP KC*HS, Archbishop of Liverpool Director Paul Barber

2.8 Free school meals (FSM) and FSM Ever 6 (Ever 6) Free School Meal (FSM) figures remain an inconsistency for our sector because they contradict other deprivation measures such as IDACI. Research by St Mary’s University, London into this discrepancy has concluded that certain ethnic groups are less likely to claim FSMs due to a range of cultural reasons and that these particular groups are over-represented in Catholic schools. 2.8.1 Pupils eligible for FSM and Ever 6 (2018)

A.15 Measures of deprivation The Income Deprivation Affecting Children Index (IDACI) is a measure of the level of disadvantage experienced by children aged 4-16. It takes account of levels of income deprivation in areas where children live and can be used to chart the proportions of pupils coming from the most deprived 10% of areas, the 10% next most deprived, and so on. The graphs below, constructed from data provided by the DfE, compare Catholic schools with all schools in England.
