Footnotes

At local authority level, due to data only being representative of those schools currently participating in daily data sharing, it is possible there will be differences between absence rates presented here and in the termly school census based absence publication.
For pupils in special schools, there are a very small number of enrolments with No SEN or on SEN support and care should be taken when using these figures in particular. As there is a difference in timeliness between this publication and data produced from the school census, it is possible there will be differences between the absence rates presented here and in the census absence publication.
