Footnotes
- Absence rates are the number of absence sessions expressed as a percentage of the total number of possible sessions.
- Pupil enrolments missing 10 percent or more of their own possible sessions (due to authorised or unauthorised absence) are classified as persistent absentees.
- x - 1 or 2 enrolments, or a percentage based on 1 or 2 enrolments.
- Number of enrolments includes pupils on the school roll for at least one session who are aged between 5 and 15, excluding boarders. Some pupils may be counted more than once (if they moved schools during the academic year or are registered in more than one school).
- Includes all schools with at least six enrolments who reported absence information via the school census for the associated academic year.
- There may be discrepancies between totals and the sum of constituent parts as national and regional totals and totals across school types have been rounded to the nearest 5.
- The persistent absentee rate is the number of persistent absentees expressed as a percentage of the total number of enrolments.
- The definition of persistent absence changed from the 2015/16 academic year - The information presented for years prior to 2015/16 has been produced using the same methodology in order to allow users to make comparisons on a consistent basis over time.
