Footnotes
- Pupil enrolments missing 10 percent or more of their own possible sessions (due to authorised or unauthorised absence) are classified as persistent absentees.
- Absence rates are the number of absence sessions expressed as a percentage of the total number of possible sessions.
- Includes all schools with at least six enrolments who reported absence information via the school census for the associated academic year.
- 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.
- The percentage of persistent absentees is the number of persistent absentees expressed as a percentage of the total number of 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).
