Records, amongst other things, the home location of pupils and the schools they attend - potential for studying school commute

• Records, amongst other things, the home location of pupils and the schools they attend - potential for studying school commute

• Results from the PLASC are held by the DfES - the National Pupil Database (established in 2002) contains much of this information

• There is potential to track pupils and their movements over time, however there is no indication of a system that is being put in place to process this interaction data from the PLASC

Notes:

Harland and Stillwell (2007) demonstrated with plasc data from Leeds that it is possible to study ‘journey to school’ disaggregated by other NPD variables.
